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
