Bruce Molsky - The Golden Willow Tree lyrics



There was little ship in South Ferry Sea
Cryin' Oh the lonesome land so low
'Was a little ship in South Ferry Sea
And she went by the name of the Golden Willow Tree
And she lay there in the low and lonesome low
Lay there in the low land so low

She had not been sailin more than two weeks or three.
Cryin Oh the lonseome land so low
'Had not been sailin more than two weeks or three
Till she came to the side of the British Rovarie
And they lay there in the low and lonesome low
Lay there in the low land so low.

Up stepped a little cabin boy
Cryin oh the lonesome land so low.
Up stepped a little cabin boy
Cryin what will you give me for that ship that I'll destroy
If I sink her in the low and lonesome low
Sink her in the low land so low.

Oh I'll give you gold or I'll give thee
Cryin oh the lonesome land so low
I'll give you gold or I'll give thee
the fairest of my daughters as you sail upon the sea
If you sink her in the low and lonesome low
sink her in the low land so low

Well he turned on his back and away swum he
Cryin oh the lonesome land so low
Turned on his back and away swum he
He swum till he come to the British Roverie
and they lay there in the low and lonesome low
Lay there in the low land so low.

He had a little instrument all fitted for his use
Cryin oh the lonesome land so low
Had a little instrument all fitted for his use
And he bored nine holes and he bored them all at once.
And he sunk her in the low and lonesome low
Sunk her in the land so low

Well he turned on his back and back swum he
Cryin oh the lonesome land so low
Turned on his back and back swum he
He swum till he come to the Golden Willow Tree
And she lay there in the low and lonseome low
Lay there in the low land so low

Oh Captain Oh captain sir take me on board
Cryin oh the lonsome land so low
Captain Oh captain sir take me on board
And do unto me as good as your word
For I sunk her in the low and lonesome low
Sunk her in the low land so low

Oh no I won't take you on board
Cryin oh the lonsome land so low
No I won't take you on board
Nor do unto you as good as my word
Though you sunk her in the low and lonesome low
sunk her in the low land so low

If it wasn't for the love of your daughter and your men
Cryin oh the lonsome land so low
'Wasn't for the love of your daughter and your men
I'd do unto you as I'd done unto them.
I would sink you in the low and lonesome low
Sink you in the low land so low

He turned around 'n down swum he
Crying oh the lonesome land so low
Turned around 'n down swum he
He swum till he come to the bottom of the sea
And he lay there in the low and lonesome low
Lay there in the low land so low
