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.
