[Verse 1]
There [G]was a ship [Em]that sailed all [D]on the lowland [Em]sea
And the [Am]name of [A]the ship
was the [D]Golden Vanity
And we [G]feared she would be
[Em]taken by [D]the Spanish enemy
[Em]As she saile[Am]d upon the lowla[D]nd,
[G]lowland, [Em]lowland
[C]Sailed upon the [D]lowland [G]sea.

[Verse 2]
Then [G]up spoke our [Em]cabin boy and
[D]boldly [Em]out spoke he
And [Am]he said to our [A]captain
"What [D]will you give to me
If [G]I swim along [Em]the side of
[D]the Spanish en[Em]emy
And I [Am]sink her in the [D]lowland [G]sea?"

[Verse 3]
"Oh [G]I will give you silv[Em]er
and [D]I will give you g[Em]old
And my [Am]own fair [A]daughter
your [D]bonny bride shall be
If [G]you'll swim along [Em]the side
of [D]the Spanish enemy
[Em]And you'[Am]ll sink her in the lowla[D]nd,
[G]lowland, [Em]lowland
[C]Sink her in the [D]lowland [G]sea

[Verse 4]
Then [G]the boy he made [Em]him ready
and [D]overboard sprang [Em]he
And [Am]he swam to [A]the side of
the [D]Spanish enemy
With his [G]brace and auger [Em]in
her side he [D]bored holes [Em]three
And [Am]sank he her in the [D]lowland [G]sea

[Verse 5]
Then [G]quickly he swam [Em]back to
the [D]cheering of [Em]the crew
But the [Am]captain would not [A]heed him,
his [D]promise he did rue
And he [G]scorned his [Em]poor
entreatings when [D]loudly he [Em]did sue
And [Am]left him in the [D]lowland,
[G]lowland, [Em]lowland
[C]Left him in the [D]lowland sea

[Verse 6]
Then [G]the boy he [Em]turned round
and he swam [D]to the port [Em]side
And [Am]up to his me[A]ssmates
full [D]bitterly he cried
"O [G]messmates, draw me [Em]up,
for I'm [D]drifting [A]with the [Em]tide
And I'm [Am]sinking in the [D]lowland,
[G]lowland, [Em]lowland
[C]Sinking in the [D]lowland [G]sea"

[Verse 7]
Then his [G]messmates drew him up,
[Em]but on t[D]he deck he died[Em]
And they [Am]stitched him in a [A]hammock
which [D]was so fair and white
[G]And they low'red him over[Em]board,
and he [D]drifted with the [Em]tide
And he [Am]sank into [D]the lowland,
[G]lowland, [Em]low land
[C]Sank into the [D]lowland [G]sea

[Verse 8]
There [G]was a ship that [Em]sailed
