Turkish Revelry |
There was a little ship |
And she sailed on the sea |
And the name of the ship was the Turkish Revelry |
She sailed down in that lonely lonesome water |
She sailed on the lonesome sea |
Up stepped a little sailor |
Saying what will you give to me |
To sink that ship to the bottom of the sea |
If I sink her in the lonely lonesome water |
If I sink her in the lonesome sea |
I have a house |
And I have some land |
And I have a daughter that shall be at your command |
If you sink her in the lonely lonesome water |
If you sink her in the lonesome sea |
He bowed on his breast |
And away swam he |
And he swam till he came to the Turkish Revelry |
She sailed down on that lonely lonesome water |
She sailed in the lonesome sea |
He had a little awe |
All made for to bore |
And he bored nine holes in the bottom of the floor |
And he sink her in the lonely lonesome water |
He sink her in the lonesome sea |
He bowed on his breast |
Away swam he |
And he swam till he cam to the Golden Willow Tree |
As she sailed in the lonely lonesome water |
As she sailed in the lonesome sea |
Captian o' captian |
Will you be good as your word |
Or either take me up on board |
For I’ve sunk her in that lonely lonesome water |
I’ve sunk he in the lonesome sea |
No I won’t be |
As good as my word |
Or neither will I take you up on board |
Though you’ve sunk her in that lonely lonesome water |
Though you’ve sunk he in the lonesome sea |
If it were not for |
The love I bear your men |
I would sink you the same just as I sank them |
I’d sink you in that lonely lonesome water |
Yes I’d sink you in the lonely sea |
He bowed on his breast |
And downward sunk he |
Bidding a farewell to the Golden Willow Tree |
He sunk in that lonely lonesome water |
He sunk in the lonely sea |
