Turkish Revelry

Intro: . . . There was a little ship, and she sailed on the sea And the name of the ship was the Turkish Revelry Ah, she sailed down in that lonely lonesome water Ah, she sailed on the lonesome sea . . . Up stepped a little sailor, saying what'll 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 (Instrumental) . . . He bowed on his breast, and away swam he And he swam till he came to the Turkish Revelry And she sailed down on that lonely lonesome water And 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 sank her in the lonely lonesome water Ah, he sunk her in the lonesome sea . . . He bowed on his breast, and away swam he And he swam till he came to the golden willow tree As she sailed in the lonely lonesome water As she sailed in the lonesome sea (Instrumental) . . . Captain oh captain, 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 lonely 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'd 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 (Instrumental) . . . He bowed on his breast and downward sunk he A-bidding a farewell to the golden willow tree Oh, he sunk in that lonely lonesome water Oh, he sunk in the lonely sea
