[The Lofty Tall Ship]
As we were got sailing five frosty nights
Five cold frosty nights and four days
It was there we espied a lofty tall ship
She come bearing down on us, brave boys

Now, where are you going, you lofty tall ship?
How dare you to venture so nigh?
For I have turned robber all on the salt sea
To maintain my two brothers and I

Now, come heave up your courses and let go of your main sheets
And let her come under my lee
And I shall take from you your rich merchant's good, merchant’s goods
And I'll point your bow guns to the sea

I shall not heave up my courses nor let go of my main sheets
Not I'll let her come under your lee
Nor you shall take me my rich merchant’s good, merchant's goods
Nor you'll point my bow guns to the sea

Now, broadside to broadside these two vessels did lay
They were fighting four hours or more
Till at length Henry Martin gave her a broadside
And she sank and she never rose more
Sad news, Henry Martin, sad news I've to tell
Sad news I'm a-going to tell
Of a lofty tall ship lost on the salt sea
And most of her merry men drowned

[Shallow Brown]
Bound away to leave you
Shallow oh shallow brown
Bound away to leave you
Shallow oh shallow brown

Master's going to sell me
Shallow oh shallow brown
Sell me to a Yankee
Shallow oh shallow brown

Sell me for a dollar
Shallow oh Shallow brown
Great big Yankee dollar
Shallow oh shallow brown

Fare thee well Juliana
Shallow oh shallow brown
Fare thee well Juliana
Shallow oh shallow brown
Bound away to leave you
Shallow oh shallow brown
Bound away to leave you
Shallow oh shallow brown
