Well, there ^Cis a lofty ship That ^Gsails upon the ^Amsea The ^Fname of the ship 'The ^GGolden ^CVanity'

She feared she'd be taken by

A ^GSpanish ^AmGalilee As she ^Fsailed upon the ^Glowland, ^Clowland ^Flow Sailed upon the ^Glowland ^Csea

[Interlude] C G Am F G C [Verse 2]

Well, ^Cup stepped the cabin boy The ^Gage of 12 and ^Am3 ^FSaid to the Captain, "What ^Gwill you give to ^Cme,

If I swim alongside

The ^GSpanish ^AmGalilee, And ^Fsink her in the ^Glowland, ^Clowland ^Flow Sink her in the ^Glowland ^Csea?"

[Interlude] C G Am F G C [Verse 3]

"Well, ^CI will give you silver And ^GI will give you ^Amgold And the ^Fhand of me daughter If ^Gyou would be so ^Cbold,

As to swim alongside

The ^GSpanish ^AmGalilee, And ^Fsink her in the ^Glowland, ^Clowland ^Flow Sink her in the ^Glowland ^Csea."

For his ^Gdaughter he did ^Amneed, And he ^Fleft him in the ^Glowland, ^Clowland ^Flow Left him in the ^Glowland ^Csea

[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
