lyrics

There was a little ship and she sailed upon the sea
And the name of that ship was the Turkish Reveille
Oh she sailed out on that lonely lonesome water
Oh she sailed out on that lonesome sea

Up stepped a little sailor saying ‘What will you give to me?
If I sink that ship in the bottom of the sea?’
Oh I’ll sink her in that lonely lonesome water
Oh I’ll sink her that lonesome sea

Oh I have a little house and I have little land
And I have a little daughter that shall be at your command
If you’ll sink her in that lonely lonesome water
If you’ll sink her in that lonesome sea

So he’s bowed on his breast and away swum he,
He swum ‘til he came to the Turkish Reveille
As he sailed out on that lonely lonesome water
As he sailed out on that lonesome sea

He had a little awl all 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 that lonesome sea

Saying ‘Captain oh captain, will you be as good as your word?
Or either will you take me up on board?’
For I’ve sunk her in that lonely lonesome water
For I’ve sunk her in that lonesome sea

No I shall not 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 her in that lonesom
