Loudon Wainwright Iii - Turkish Revelry lyrics

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 the 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 She sailed down on that lonely lonesome water She sailed in 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 in the lonely lonesome water As she sailed in 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 he 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 Though you've sunk he in the lonesome sea 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 lonesome water Yes I'd sink you in the lonely 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 the lonely sea
