Turkish Revelry Loudon Wainwright III

There was a little ship
And she sailed on the sea
And the name of the ship was the Turkish Revelry
She sailed down in that lonely lonesome water
She sailed on the lonesome sea

Up stepped a little sailor
Saying what will you give to me
To sink that ship to the bottom of the sea
If I sink her in the lonely lonesome water
If I sink her in the lonesome sea

I have a house
And I have some land
And I have a daughter that shall be at your command
If you sink her in the lonely lonesome water
If you sink her in the lonesome sea

He bowed on his breast
And away swam he
And he swam till he came to the Turkish Revelry
She sailed down on that lonely lonesome water
She sailed in the lonesome sea

He had a little awl
All made for to bore
And he bored nine holes in the bottom of the floor
And he sink her in the lonely lonesome water
He sink her in the lonesome sea
