Song: The Gallant Argosy - The Brothers Four

Oh once there was a ship that sailed on Barbary,
and the name of the ship was the Gallant Argosy.
We feared she would be captured by the Spanish enemy
as we sailed along the low-land,
low-land, we sailed along the low-land sea.
Then up stepped the youngest mate and boldly upspoke
he, and he said unto the captain,
What do y' have for me if I swim up to the side of
the Spanish enemy and sink her in the 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.
So the crew 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, 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 o'er the side,
where he floated on the waves and he drifted with the
tide, then he sank beneath the low-land,
low-land, low-land, he sank beneath the low-land sea
