English Folk - The Turkish Reverly

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 that 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

and she sailed down in that lonely lonesome water, 

she sailed on 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 on that lonely lonesome water, 

she sailed on 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 her 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

you've sunk her in that lonely"

"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 lonely lonesome water

I'd sink you in the lonesome 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 that lonesome sea
