There was a little ship, and she sailed on the sea 
        C           .            F 
And the name of the ship was the Turkish Revelry 
        C                          F        C 
Ah, she sailed down in that lonely lonesome water

Ah, she sailed on the lonesome sea 


   C                .              .                   . 
Up stepped a little sailor, saying what'll you give to me 
   C         .           F 
To sink that ship to the bottom of the sea 
     C               .      F        C 
If I sink her in the lonely lonesome water 
     C               G        C 
If I sink her in the lonesome sea 


C        .          .           . 
I have a house, and I have some land 
    C        .                   F 
And I have a daughter that shall be at your command 
       C                .      F        C 
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 
       C            .           F 
And he swam till he came to the Turkish Revelry 
        C                   .      F        C 
And she sailed down on that lonely lonesome water

He had a little awe, all made for to bore 
       C          .            F 
And he bored nine holes in the bottom of the floor 
       C               .      F        C 
And he sank her in the lonely lonesome water 
       C               G        C 
Ah, he sunk her in the lonesome sea 


   C            .            .        . 
He bowed on his breast, and away swam he 
       C            .           F 
And he swam till he came to the golden willow tree 
       C             .      F        C 
As she sailed in the lonely lonesome water 
       C             G        C 
As she sailed in the lonesome sea

Captain oh captain, will you be good as your word 
   C      .       F 
Or either take me up on board 
         C                .      F        C 
For I've sunk her in that lonely lonesome water

Or neither will I take you up on board 
              C                .      F        C 
Though you've sunk her in that lonely lonesome water

Though you've sunk he in the lonesome sea 


      C        .       .                . 
If it were not for the love I bear your men

I'd sink you the same just as I sank them 
    C                       F        C 
I'd sink you in that lonely lonesome water 
        C               G      C 
Yes I'd sink you in the lonely sea

He bowed on his breast and downward sunk he

A-bidding a farewell to the golden willow tree 
       C            .      F        C 
Oh, he sunk in that lonely lonesome water

Oh, he sunk in the lonely sea
