Sinking In The Lonesome Sea

(início)

      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
    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.
