The Turkish Revelee

There was a little ship
And she sailed on the sea
And the name of our ship was
The Turkish Revelee

Oh, she sailed down
In that lonely lonesome water
Oh, she sailed
On the lonesome sea

Up stepped a little sailor
Saying, "What'll you give to me
To sink that ship in the bottom of the sea?"

If I'll sink her
In that lonely lonesome water
If I'll sink her
In the lonesome sea

"I havе a house and I have land
And I have a daughtеr
That shall be at your command"

If you'll sink her
In that lonely lonesome water
If you'll sink her
In the lonesome sea

He bowed on his breast
And away swam he
And he swam till he came
To The Turkish Revelee

As she sailed down
In that lonely lonesome water
As she sailed
In the lonesome sea

He had a little oar
Oh, made for the bore
And he bored nine holes
In the bottom of the floor

Oh, he sunk her
In that lonely lonesome water
Oh, 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 down
In that lonely lonesome water
As she sailed
In the lonesome sea

"Captain, oh Captain
Will you be as good as your word?
Or either take me up on board"

For I've sunk her
In that lonely lonesome water
Oh, I've sunk her
In the lonesome sea

"No, I won't be as good as my word
Nor neither will I take you up on board"

Though you've sunk her
In that lonely lonesome water
Though you've sunk her
In the lonesome sea

"If it were not for the love
That I bear to your men
I'd sink you the same
Just as I sank them"

Oh, I'd sink you
In that lonely lonesome water
Oh, I'd sink you
In the lonesome sea

He bowed on his breast
And down sunk he
A-biding farewell
To The Golden Willow Tree

Oh, he sunk
In that lonely lonesome water
Oh, he sunk
In the lonesome sea
