Tekst piosenki:
Oh, there is a lofty ship and she sails upon the sea
And the name of that shippin' the Golden Vanity
And she fears she will be taken by a Spanish galley
A she sails on the lowland, lowland, low
Sails on the lowland sea.
Then up steps the cabin boy just the age of twelve and three
And he says to the captain "What will you give to me
If I swim alongside of the Spanish galley
And I sink her in the lowland, lowland, low
I sink her in the lowland sea?"
"
Well, I will give you silver, and I will give you gold
And the hand of my daughter if you would be so bold
As to swim alongside of the Spanish galley
And to sink her in the lowland, lowland, low
To sink her in the lowland sea. "
So the boy made ready and overboard jumped he
And swam alongside of the Spanish galley
And with his little drilling tool he bor-ed holes three
And he sank her in the lowland, lowland, low
Sank her in the lowland sea
Then the boy turned round and swam back to he
And hollered for the captain to haul him from the sea
But the captain did not heed for his daughter he did need
And he left him in the lowland, lowland, low
He left him in the lowland sea
And the crew hold him up and on the deck he died
They wrapped him in a blanket and so very softly cried
Dream of the boy and dream of the tide
And he sank beneath the lowland, lowland, low
He sank beneath the lowland sea
