shovel dance collective - the merry golden tree lyrics
there was a little ship and it sailed on the sea
the name of the ship was the merry golden tree
sailing on the low and lonesome low
sailing on the lonely lowland sea
they hadn’t been out scarce two days or three
until they sighted the british robbery
sailing on the low and lonesome low
flaunting the jolly roger on the lowland sea
up jumped the captain a ringing of his hands
he cried “oh lord now what shall we do?
they’ll sink is in the low and the lonesome low
they’ll sink us to the bottom of the lowland sea”
up and spoke the little cabin boy
saying “what will you give me if i then destroy?
if i sink ‘em in the low and the lonesome low
sink ‘em to the bottom of the lowland sea”
“well i’ll give you gold and i’ll pay you fee
my youngest daughter and she will marry thee
if you sink ‘em in the low and the lonesome low
sink ‘em to the bottom of the lowland sea”
so he turned on his back and away swam he
until he came to the british robbery
sailing on the low and lonesome low
flaunting the jolly roger on the lowland sea
where some was playing cards and some were at the dice
and some were taking taking their best friends advice
sailing on the low and lonesome low
flaunting the jolly roger on the lowland sea
he had a little tool just right for the use
he bore nine holes just to let in the juice
sailing on the low and lonesome low
flaunting the jolly roger on the lowland sea
well some threw their hats and some threw their caps
but they could not stop those salt water gaps
sailing on the low and lonesome low
flaunting the jolly roger on the lowland sea
well he turned on his back and away swam he
until he came to the merry golden tree
sailing on the low and lonesome low
sailing on the lonely lowland sea
“captain oh captain take me onboard
you’ll do unto me just as good as your word
for i sank ‘em in the low and the lonesome low
i sank ‘em to the bottom of the lowland sea.”
“i’ll not pay you gold nor yet pay your fee
my youngest daughter she’ll never marry thee
i’ll sink you in the low and the lonesome low
leave you to drown in the lowland sea.”
“if it wasn’t for your daughter nor yet for your men
i’d do unto you just as i did to them
i’d sink you in the low and the lonesome low
sink you to the bottom of the lowland sea’
but he turned on his back and away swam he
“farewell to you, you merry golden tree
i’m drowning in the low and the lonesome low
i’m drowning in the lonely lowland sea.”
