Golden Vanity-Burl Ives

[ti:Golden Vanity] [ar:Burl Ives] [al:I Know an Old Lady] [by:] [offset:0] [00:00.48]There was a ship that sailed that all on the lowland sea [00:06.74]And the name of our ship was the Golden Vanity [00:11.37]And we feared she would be taken by the Spanish enemy [00:15.63]As she sailed in the lowland lowland low [00:21.16]As she sailed in the lowland sea [00:27.13]Then up spoke our cabinboy and boldly out spoke he [00:32.13]And he said to our captain "What will you give to me [00:36.71]If I swim along the side of the Spanish enemy [00:40.66]And sink her in the lowland lowland low [00:45.11]And sink her in the lowland sea " [00:49.17]"Oh I will give you silver and I will give you gold [00:55.26]And my own fair daughter your bonny bride shall be [01:00.20]If you'll swim along side of the Spanish enemy [01:04.49]And sink her in the lowland lowland low [01:08.94]And sink her in the lowland sea [01:13.33]Then the boy he made him ready and overboard sprang he [01:19.33]And he swam along side of the Spanish enemy [01:23.85]And with his brace and auger [01:26.25]In her side he bored holes three [01:28.82]He sank her in the lowland lowland low [01:33.54]Yes he sank her in the lowland sea [01:37.81]Then quickly he swam back to the cheering of the crew [01:42.23]But the captain would not heed him [01:44.41]For his promise he did rue [01:46.94]And he scorned his poor entreatings [01:49.93]When loudly he did sue [01:52.36]And he left him in the lowland lowland low [01:58.13]He left him in the lowland sea [02:01.42] [02:03.63]Then quickly he swam around to the port side [02:08.00]And up to his messmates full bitterly he cried [02:12.47]"Oh messmates draw me up for I'm drifting with the tide [02:17.50]And I'm sinking in the lowland lowland low [02:22.29]I'm sinking in the lowland sea " [02:27.60]Then his messmates drew him up [02:31.29]But on the deck he died [02:34.36]And they stitched him in a hammock [02:38.19]Which was so fair and white [02:41.53]And they lowered him overboard [02:44.01]And he drifted with the tide [02:47.29]And he sank in the lowland lowland low [02:55.05]He sank in the lowland sea
