1. Now there was a bonny ship in the North Country
       D                   A             E
   The name that she went under was the Golden Vanity
       A                 E            A
   She fear she will be taken by the Turkish privateer
           A               E        A
   As she sails along the lowlands low,
   A                       E        A
   As she sails along the lowlands low

Refrain 
    A         E                A
   Along the lowlands, in the lowlands
            D              E        A
   As she sails along the lowlands low

2. Now the first that come on deck was the little cabin boy
   Captain what値l you give to me if I do them destroy?
   I値l give you gold and silver, my daughter for your bride
   If you値l sink them in the Lowlands low
   If you値l sink them in the Lowlands low

3. So the captain held the keel light, and overboard he goes
   He swam 奏il he came to the Turkish privateer
   He痴 let the water in and he痴 dazzled out her lights
   And he sank her in the lowlands low
   And he sank her in the lowlands low

4. So it痴 back to the ship so quickly he swam
   Captain, captain, pick me up my work I致e bravely done
   Captain, pick me up, for I知 sinking in the sea
   I知 sinking in the lowlands low
   And I知 sinking in the lowlands low

5. Pick you up, pick you up? The captain said he
   Oh no, you foolish youngster, that will never be
   For I知 going to send you after the Turkish Ivory
   And I値l sink you in the lowlands low
   And I値l sink you in the lowlands low

6. So he swam around the ship all to the starboard side
   Shipmates, shipmate, pick me up, I知 sinking in the tide
   Shipmates, pick me up, for I知 sinking in the sea
   I知 sinking in the lowlands low
   And I知 sinking in the lowlands low

7. So his shipmates picked him up, and on the deck he died
   They sewed him in his hammock, which was both long and wide
   They sewed him in his hammock and they threw him o弾r the side
   And they sank him in the lowlands low
   And they sank him in the lowlands low
