The Gallant Argosy - The Brothers Four

Low land low land

We sailed along the low land sea

Oh there once was a ship that sailed down to 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

Low land low land low land

She sailed along the low land sea

Then up stepped the youngest mate 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 low land low land low land

And sink her in the low land sea

Oh I will give you diamonds and buckets full of gold

And my own fair daughter your bonny bride to hold

If you swim up to the side of the Spanish enemy

And sink her in the

Low land low land low land

And sink her in the low land sea

Then the they 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 they left him in the low land

Low land low land

They left him in the low land sea

Oh the crew they pulled him out but upon the deck he died

So they stitched him in his hammock

And threw him to the side

Then they put him out to waves

And he drifted with the tide

Then he sank to the

Low land low land low land

He sank into the low land sea

Low land low land

He sank into the low land sea
