《The Golden Vanity》歌词

[00:00:00] The Golden Vanity - Burl Ives

[00:00:11] There was a ship that sailed it

[00:00:14] All on the Lowland Sea

[00:00:17] And the name of our ship

[00:00:18] Was the Golden Vanity

[00:00:21] And we feared she would be taken

[00:00:23] By the Spanish enemy

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

[00:00:30] As she sailed in the Lowland Sea

[00:00:35] Then up stepped our cabin boy

[00:00:36] And boldly outspoke he

[00:00:39] And he said to our captain

[00:00:41] "What would you give to me

[00:00:42] If I would swim along side of the Spanish enemy

[00:00:46] And sink her in the Lowland Lowland low

[00:00:51] And sink her in the Lowland Sea"

[00:00:56] "Oh I would give you silver

[00:00:59] And I would give you gold

[00:01:02] And my own fairest daughter

[00:01:04] Your bonny bride shall be

[00:01:06] If you will swim along side of the Spanish enemy

[00:01:11] And sink her in the Lowland Lowland low

[00:01:16] And sink her in the Lowland Sea"

[00:01:20] Then the boy he made him ready

[00:01:22] And overboard sprang he

[00:01:25] And he swam alongside of the Spanish enemy

[00:01:29] And with his brace and auger in her sides

[00:01:32] He bored holes three

[00:01:34] And he sunk her in the Lowland Lowland low

[00:01:39] Yes he sunk her in the Lowland Sea

[00:01:43] Then quickly he swam back

[00:01:45] To the cheering of the crew

[00:01:47] But the captain would not heed him

[00:01:49] For his promise he did rue

[00:01:51] And he scorned his poor entreatings

[00:01:53] When loudly he did sue

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

[00:02:03] He left him in the Lowland Sea

[00:02:09] Then quickly he swam round to the port side

[00:02:12] And up and to his messmates full bitterly he cried

[00:02:16] "Oh messmates

[00:02:17] Draw me up for I'm drifting with the tide

[00:02:20] And I'm sinking in the Lowland Lowland low

[00:02:24] I'm sinking in the Lowland Sea"

[00:02:31] Then his messmates drew him up

[00:02:34] But on the deck he died

[00:02:37] And they stitched him in his hammock

[00:02:41] Which was so fair and wide

[00:02:44] And they lowered him overboard

[00:02:47] And he drifted with the tide

[00:02:51] And he sank in the Lowland Lowland low

[00:03:01] He sank in the Lowland Sea
