Golden Vanity
(Peter Paul & Mary)

GD
There was a ship that sailed along the lowland
EmCAD
sea, And the name of the ship was the Golden
D7G
Vanity. And they swore she would be taken by the
DEmCD7
Spanish enemy, As she sailed along the lowland,
GCD7G
oh, sailed along the lowland sea.
GD
Then up spoke our cabin boy, and boldly out
EmCA
spoke he, And he said to our captain, "What
DD7G
would you give to me, If I swam along side of
DEmCD7
the Spanish enemy, And sank her in the lowland,
GCD7G
oh, sank her in the lowland sea?"
GD
"Oh, I will give you silver, and I will give you
     
EmCAD
gold, And my own fair young daughter your bonnie
D7G
bride shall be, If you swim along side of the
DEmCD7G
Spanish enemy, And sink her in the lowland, oh,
CD7G
sink her in the lowland sea."
GD
So the boys they made him ready, and overboard
EmCAD
sprang he, And he swam along side of the Spanish
D7GD
enemy. And with his brace and auger in her side
EmC
he bore holes three, And sank her in the
D7GCD7G
lowland, oh, sank her in the lowland sea.
GD
Then quickly he swam back to the cheering of the
EmCA
crew, But the captain would not heed him, for
DD7G
his promise he did rue, And he scorned his poor
DEmC
entreatings when loudly he did sue, And left him
     
D7GCD7C
in the lowland, oh, left him in the lowland sea.
GD
Then 'round-a-bout he turned, and swam to the
EmCA
port side, And up unto his messmates full
DD7G
bitterly he cried, "Messmates, draw me up, for
DEmC
I'm drifting with the tide, And sinking in the
D7GCD7G
lowland, oh, sinking in the lowland sea."
GD
Well, his messmates drew him up, but on the deck
EmCA
he died. And they stitched him in his hammock
DD7G
that was so fair and wide. And they lowered him
DEmC
overboard and he drifted with the tide, And sank
D7GCD7G
into the lowland, oh, sank into the lowland sea.
