            C
Well, there is a lofty ship

     G              Am
That sails upon the sea

    F
The name of the ship

     G      C
'The Golden Vanity'
She feared she'd be taken by
  G       Am
A Spanish Galilee

       F               G        C       F
As she sailed upon the lowland, lowland low

                G       C
Sailed upon the lowland sea
[Interlude] C G Am F G C [Verse 2]
      C
Well, up stepped the cabin boy

    G             Am
The age of 12 and 3

F
Said to the Captain,

      G                C
"What will you give to me,
If I swim alongside
    G       Am
The Spanish Galilee,

    F               G        C       F
And sink her in the lowland, lowland low

                G       C
Sink her in the lowland sea?"
[Interlude] C G Am F G C [Verse 3]
       C
"Well, I will give you silver

    G               Am
And I will give you gold

        F
And the hand of me daughter

   G               C
If you would be so bold,
As to swim alongside
    G       Am
The Spanish Galilee,

    F               G        C       F
And sink her in the lowland, lowland low

                G       C
Sink her in the lowland sea."
[Interlude] C G Am F G C [Verse 4]
       C
So the boy made ready

    G              Am
And overboard doth he

F             
Swam alongside

    G       C
The Spanish Galilee
With his drilling tool
   G          Am
He bore holes three

    F               G        C       F
And sank her in the lowland, lowland low

                G       C
Sank her in the lowland sea
[Interlude] C G Am F G C [Verse 5]
         C
Then the boy turned 'round

    G             Am
And swam back did he

   F
He called to the Captain

   G                 C
To haul him from the sea
The Captain did not heed
        G               Am
For his daughter he did need,

       F               G        C       F
And he left him in the lowland, lowland low

                G       C
Left him in the lowland sea
[Interlude] C G Am F G C [Verse 6]
          C*
Well, the crew hauled him up

    G*             Am*
But on the deck he died

     F*
They wrapped him in a blanket

       G*          C*
And so very softly cried

C*
Threw him overboard

   G*              Am
To drift among the tide

       F                G        C       F
And he sank beneath the lowland, lowland low

                 G*      C*
Sank beneath the lowland sea
