Intro: C G C
C . . .
There was a little ship, and she sailed on the sea
C . F
And the name of the ship was the Turkish Revelry
C F C
Ah, she sailed down in that lonely lonesome water
C G C
Ah, she sailed on the lonesome sea
C . . .
Up stepped a little sailor, saying what'll you give to me
C . F
To sink that ship to the bottom of the sea
C . F C
If I sink her in the lonely lonesome water
C G C
If I sink her in the lonesome sea
C . . .
I have a house, and I have some land
C . F
And I have a daughter that shall be at your command
C . F C
If you sink her in that lonely lonesome water
C G C
If you sink her in the lonesome sea
C . . . / C . F / C . F C / C G C
(instrumental)
C . . .
He bowed on his breast, and away swam he
C . F
And he swam till he came to the Turkish Revelry
C . F C
And she sailed down on that lonely lonesome water
C G C
And she sailed in the lonesome sea
C . . .
He had a little awe, all made for to bore
C . F
And he bored nine holes in the bottom of the floor
C . F C
And he sank her in the lonely lonesome water
C G C
Ah, he sunk her in the lonesome sea
C . . .
He bowed on his breast, and away swam he
C . F
And he swam till he came to the golden willow tree
C . F C
As she sailed in the lonely lonesome water
C G C
As she sailed in the lonesome sea
C . . . / C . F / C . F C / C G C
(instrumental)
C . . .
Captain oh captain, will you be good as your word
C . F
Or either take me up on board
C . F C
For I've sunk her in that lonely lonesome water
C G C
I've sunk her in the lonely sea
C . . .
No I won't be as good as my word
C . F
Or neither will I take you up on board
C . F C
Though you've sunk her in that lonely lonesome water
C G C
Though you've sunk her in the lonesome sea
C . . .
If it were not for the love I bear your men
C . F
I'd sink you the same just as I sank them
C F C
I'd sink you in that lonely lonesome water
C G C
Yes I'd sink you in the lonely sea
C . . . / C . F / C . F C / C G C
(instrumental)
C . . .
He bowed on his breast and downward sunk he
C . F
A-bidding a farewell to the golden willow tree
C . F C
Oh, he sunk in that lonely lonesome water
C G C
Oh, he sunk in the lonely sea
