low-^Fland, ^Dmlow-land, we ^C7sailed along the l^Cow-land ^Fsea.

^FThen up stepped the youngest mate and boldly upspoke he, and he ^C7said unto the captain, What do y' have for me if I ^Fswim up to the side of the Spanish enemy and ^C7sink her in the low-land,

low-^Fland, ^Dmlow-land, and ^Csink her in the l^C7ow-land s^Fea?

^FOh I will give you diamonds and buckets full of gold and my ^C7own fair daughter, your bonny bride to hold if you^F swim up to the side of the Spanish enemy and sin^C7k her in the low-land,

low-^Fland, ^Dmlow-land, and^C7 sink her in the l^Cow-land ^Fsea.
