I have a ship and she sails on the deepAnd she goes by the name of the Golden VanityBut I fear she'll be sunk by a Spanish galleyAs we sail her in the lowlands lowThen up and spoke a cabin boy, a well-spoke lad was he'Oh captain, oh captain, what would you giveIf the Spanish galley would trouble you no moreAs we sail her in the lowlands low?''Good gold I would give, and silver in storeAnd my pretty little daughter who lives upon the shoreIf the Spanish galley would trouble me no moreAs we sail her in the lowlands low'So straight away the boy bared his breast and dived inAnd he held in his hand an auger sharp and thinHe held in his hand an auger sharp and thinHe went swimming in the lowlands lowHe bored, he bored, he bored once or twiceFor some was playing cards and some was playing diceAnd the water it rushed in till it dazzled in their eyesAnd he sank them in the lowlands lowThen he swam and he swam crying 'captain take me inLetras de cancionesFor I'm drowning in the lowlands low'Throw me a rope, a rope' cried he'A rope, a rope you will never get from meFor you sunk the dark girl, the Turk of AdmireeNow she's sinking in the lowlands low'So he swam around the starboard side and his messmates took him inThen they throwed him a rope and his messmates took him inThen they wrapped him up in an old cow skinAnd they sunk him in the lowlands low From Letras Mania
