Lowland,
Lowland,
We sailed along the Lowland Sea.
Oh, there was a ship
that sailed down to High Barbary,
And the name of the ship
was the Gallant Argosy.
We feared she would be captured
by the Spanish enemy
As she sailed along the lowland,
lowland, lowland
She sailed along the lowland sea
Then up stepped the youngest maid
and boldly up spoke he
And he said unto the captain,
what do you have for me?
If I swim up to the side
of the Spanish enemy,
And sink her in the lowland,
lowland, lowland,
And sink her in the lowland sea.
Oh, I will give you diamonds
and pockets full of gold
An d my own fair daughter,
your bonnie bride to hold
If you swim up to the side
of the Spanish enemy
And sink her in the lowland,
lowland, lowland
And sink her in the lowland sea
Then the matey made him ready,
and he left the Argosy,
and he swam through the water
and sank the enemy.
Then quickly he swam back,
but the captain did not see,
and he left him in the lowland.
Lowland, lowland,
he left him in the lowland sea.
Then the crew, pulled him out,
but upon the deck he died.
So they stitched him in his hammock,
and took him to the side.
Then they put him out to rest,
and he drifted with the tide.
And he sank into the lowland,
lowland, lowland.
He sank into the lowland sea
Lowland, lowland
He sank into the lowland sea
