3 Then he bared his breast and he swam on the sea Till he came along by the Turkey Reveille
As she sailed in the low-down,
Low-down, low-down,
As she sailed in the low-down, lonesome low.
4 Some with their cards and some with their dice, And some were taking their best friend's advice, As she rowed in the low-down,
Low-down, low-down,
As she rowed in the low-down, lonesome low.
5 Then he bared his breast and he swam in the tide, And he bored ten holes in the old ship's side, And she sank in the low-down,
Low-down, low-down,
And she sank in the low-down, lonesome low.
6 Some with their hats and some with their caps Were trying to stop them salt-water gaps,
As she sailed in the low-down,
Low-down, low-down,
As she sailed in the low-down, lonesome low.
7 Then he bared his breast and he swam in the tide Until he come along by his own ship's side,
As she rolled in the low-down,
Low-down, low-down,
As she rolled in the low-down, lonesome low.
8 "Captain, oh, captain, take me on board,
For if you don't you have forfeited your word,
As you sail in the low-down,
Low-down, low-down,
As you sail in the low-down, lonesome low."
9 "Sailor boy, sailor boy, don't appeal to me,
For you drowned fifty souls when you sank the Reveille,
As she sailed in the low-down,
Low-down, low-down,
As she sailed in the low-down, lonesome low."
