	  		        D 
    There was a little ship, and it sailed upon the sea, 
                                                           G 
    and she went by the name of the Merry Golden Tree, 
                    D 
    and she sailed upon the low and lonesome low, 
                   D                       A7            D 
    and she sailed upon the lonesome sea. 

        D 
    There was a little sailor, unto his captain said, 
                                          G 
    “Oh, captain, captain what'll you give to me, 
          D 
    if I sink them in the low and lonesome low, 
          D                        A7            D 
    if I sink them in the lonesome sea?” 

( D A D ) 

        D 
    “Two hundred dollars I will give unto thee, 
                                                     G 
    and my oldest daughter I will wed unto you, 
               D 
    if you sink them in the low and lonesome low, 
               D                       A7             D 
    if you sink them in the lonesome sea.” 

     D 
    He bowed upon his breast, and away swim he, 
                                                 G 
    till he came the ship of the Turkish Reveille, 
                 D 
    as she sailed upon the low and lonesome low, 
                 D                      A7             D 
    as she sailed upon the lonesome sea. 

( D A D ) 

    D 
    If it wasn't for the love of your daughter and your men, 
                                            G 
    I would do unto you as I did unto them, 
                  D 
    I would sink you in the low and lonesome low, 
                  D                     A7             D 
    I would sink you in the lonesome sea. 

     D 
    He bowed his head, and down sank he, 
                                            G 
    farewell, farewell to the Merry Golden Tree, 
                D 
    for I'm sinking in the low and lonesome low, 
                D                   A7             D 
    for I'm sinking in the lonesome sea.
