《The Golden Vanity》歌词

[00:00:00] The Golden Vanity - Burl Ives (布勒·埃夫斯)

[00:00:04] There was a ship that sailed it all on the Lowland Sea

[00:00:10] And the name of our ship was the Golden Vanity

[00:00:15] And we feared she would be taken by the Spanish enemy

[00:00:19] As she sailed in the Lowland Lowland low

[00:00:25] As she sailed in the Lowland Sea

[00:00:32] Then up stepped our cabin boy and boldly outspoke he

[00:00:35] And he said to our captain hat would you give to me

[00:00:40] If I would swim along side of the Spanish enemy

[00:00:44] And sink her in the Lowland Lowland low

[00:00:48] And sink her in the Lowland Sea

[00:00:52] Oh I would give you silver and I would give you gold

[00:00:59] And my own fairest daughter your bonny bride shall be

[00:01:04] If you will swim along side of the Spanish enemy

[00:01:08] And sink her in the Lowland Lowland low

[00:01:12] And sink her in the Lowland Sea

[00:01:17] Then the boy he made him ready and overboard sprang he

[00:01:23] And he swam alongside of the Spanish enemy

[00:01:28] And with his brace and auger in her sides he bored holes three

[00:01:32] He sunk her in the Lowland Lowland low

[00:01:37] Yes he sunk her in the Lowland Sea

[00:01:41] Then quickly he swam back to the cheering of the crew

[00:01:46] But the captain would not heed him for his promise he did rue

[00:01:51] And he scorned his poor entreatings when loudly he did sue

[00:01:56] And he left him in the Lowland Lowland low

[00:02:01] He left him in the Lowland Sea

[00:02:07] Then quickly he swam round to the port side

[00:02:11] And up and to his messmates full bitterly he cried

[00:02:16] Oh messmates draw me up for I＇m drifting with the tide

[00:02:21] And I＇m sinking in the Lowland Lowland low

[00:02:26] I＇m sinking in the Lowland Sea

[00:02:31] Then his messmates drew him up but on the deck he died

[00:02:38] And they stitched him in his hammock which was so fair and wide

[00:02:45] And they lowered him overboard and he drifted with the tide

[00:02:50] And he sank in the Lowland Lowland low

[00:02:59] He sank in the Lowland Sea
