Golden Vanity

<Trad; Child 286; Roud 122>
Capo:
III
Based on Pete Seeger's recording?
G
G
There was a little ship, she sails upon the sea
C
The name that she bore was the golden vanity
G

G
She sails upon the low and lonesome low
G
D
G
And she sails upon lonesome sea She had not been out many more weeks than three When she was overtaken by the Turkish Revelry Sailing on the the low and lonesome low Sailing on the lonesome sea Then up spoke a little cabin boy Saying "What will you give me, if I will them destroy? Could sink them in the low and lonesome low If I sink them in the lonesome sea The man that them destroys, the captain had replied It's five thousand pounds and my daughter for your bride If you sink them in the low and lonesome low If you sink them in the lonesome sea
Instrumental verse
The boy smote his breast and down jumped he He swam till he came to the Turkish Revelry Sailing on the low and lonesome low Sailing on the lonesome sea He had a little tool, made for the use He bored nine holes in the hull all at once Sinking in the low and lonesome low Sinking in the lonesome sea
Instrumental verse
Then he swam back to the ship and he beat upon the side
Em
D
C
Crying, Captain, pick me up, I'm waiting in the tide I'm sinking in the low and lonesome low I'm sinking in the lonesome sea I will not pick you up, the Captain then replied I'll shoot you, I'll drown you, I'll sink you in the tide I'll sink you in the low and lonesome low I'll sink you in the lonesome sea I'll sink you in the low and lonesome low I'll sink you in the lonesome sea
Instrumental verse

Half Of What We Know

Your lonesomeness I know

And your garden will not grow
G

D
A
G
You can weed it all you want, you're still too slow If it wasn't for the sun All the roses would've won And you pin up on my blouse a blue ribbon Your lonesomeness I know It was mine not long ago I see it in your eyes, all dark with woe 'Cause the stills have all run dry Pretty women passed you by They're lyin' in a pile waitin' to die
D

Bb

And what if I never gave you keys to the kingdom fine?

And what if I never made you walk that crooked line?

And what if my love was raging, then would you be mine?

'Cause only half of what we know comes true in time
G
/f#
D
A
Half of what we know comes true Your lonesomeness I see But I know it's not for me And them mountains all have crumbled to the sea And the mermaid finds it there Puts flowers in your hair And thus begins your nautical affair And what if I never gave you keys to the kingdom fine? And what if I never made you walk that crooked line? And what if my love was raging, then would you be mine? 'Cause only half of what we know comes true in time Half of what we know comes true Your lonesomeness I feel I can see it when we kneel At the altar where the ocean bites your heels But the beach is turning black And the sandstone hold me back And I lost you when we tumbled through the cracks And what if I never gave you keys to the kingdom fine? And what if I never made you walk that crooked line? And what if my love was raging, then would you be mine? 'Cause only half of what we know comes true in time Half of what we know comes true

It'll End Too Soon

It'll end too soon if it ends at all But I don't worry now The friends of summer be the friends of fall Days unravel in a seamless thread I'll dream and I'll live on When the dream is dead Years from now when I'm so very gone Know that I did my best to carry on From the saddest sads to the funnest fun We kept it together now, what's done is done It'll end too soon if it ends at all But I don't worry now The friends of summer be the friends of fall May your days unravel in a seamless thread I'll dream and I'll live on When the dream is dead I've been to the future and back and all is fine Endless days of flawless time You pick up a thing or two along the way I was gone back then, still I'm gone today I've been playing it close Playing it kind of safe I just stay and the goes Whenever there's time to waste I've been playing it close I've been playing it kind of safe I just stay and the goes Whenever there's time to waste It'll end too soon if it ends at all I don't worry now The friends of summer be the friends of fall May the days unravel in a seamless tread I'll dream and I'll live on I'll dream and I'll live on....
