Intro:                   .             .             . There was a little ship and she sailed on the sea                    .             And the name of the ship was the Turkish Revelry Ah she sailed down in that lonely lonesome water Ah she sailed on the lonesome sea                    .              .                   . Up stepped a little sailor saying what’ll you give to me             .            To sink that ship to the bottom of the sea                     .               If I sink her in the lonely lonesome water If I sink her in the lonesome sea         .          .           . I have a house and I have some land             .                    And I have a daughter that shall be at your command                        .               If you sink her in that lonely lonesome water If you sink her in the lonesome sea . . . / . / . / (Instrumental)                .            .        . He bowed on his breast and away swam he                    .            And he swam till he came to the Turkish Revelry                            .               And she sailed down on that lonely lonesome water And she sailed in the lonesome sea                .        .           . He had a little awe all made for to bore                  .             And he bored nine holes in the bottom of the floor                       .               And he sank her in the lonely lonesome water Ah he sunk her in the lonesome sea                .            .        . He bowed on his breast and away swam he                    .            And he swam till he came to the golden willow tree                     .               As she sailed in the lonely lonesome water As she sailed in the lonesome sea . . . / . / . / (Instrumental)           .                 .               . Captain oh captain will you be good as your word          .        Or either take me up on board                          .               For I’ve sunk her in that lonely lonesome water I’ve sunk he in the lonely sea           .     .          . No I won’t be as good as my word                .       Or neither will I take you up on board                               .               Though you’ve sunk her in that lonely lonesome water Though you’ve sunk he in the lonesome sea               .       .                . If it were not for the love I bear your men                 .             I’d sink you the same just as I sank them I’d sink you in that lonely lonesome water Yes I’d sink you in the lonely sea . . . / . / . / (Instrumental)                .          .             . He bowed on his breast and downward sunk he                .            A-bidding a farewell to the golden willow tree                    .               Oh he sunk in that lonely lonesome water Oh he sunk in the lonely sea
