final campfire - space age dream boy lyrics

[part one: the golden vanity]

[verse 1]
once there was a ship, and she sailed the lowland sea
and the name of the ship was the golden vanity
and she feared she would be taken by the spanish enemy
as she sailed upon the lowland, lowland, low
sailed upon the lowland sea

[verse 2]
then up spoke our cabin boy and boldly out spoke he
and he said to the captain “what will you give to me
if i swim along the side of the spanish enemy
and i sink them in the lowland, lowland, low
sink thеm in the lowland sea?”

[verse 3]
“oh i will give you silvеr and i will give you gold
and my own fair daughter your bonny bride shall be
if you’ll swim along the side of the spanish enemy
and you sink her in the lowland, lowland, lowland
sink her in the lowland sea”

[verse 4]
then the boy he made him ready and overboard sprang he
and he swam to the side of the spanish enemy
with his brace and auger in her side he bored holes three
and he sank her in the lowland, lowland, low
sank her in the lowland sea
[verse 5]
then quickly he swam back to the cheering of the crew
but the captain would not heed him, his promise he did rue
and he scorned his poor entreatings when loudly he did sue
and left him in the lowland, lowland, lowland
left him in the lowland sea

[verse 6]
then the boy he turned ’round and he swam to the port side
and up to his messmates full bitterly he cried
“o messmates, draw me up, for i’m drifting with the tide
and i’m sinking in the lowland, lowland, lowland
sinking in the lowland sea”

[verse 7]
then his messmates drew him up, but on the deck he died
and they stitched him in a hammock which was so fair and white
and they lowered him overboard, and he drifted with the tide
and he sank into the lowland, lowland, lowland
sank into the lowland sea

[verse 8]
once there was a ship, and she sailed the lowland sea
and the name of the ship was the golden vanity
and she feared she would be taken by the spanish enemy
as she sailed upon the lowland, lowland, low
sailed upon the lowland sea
[part two: irene, goodnight]

[verse 1]
last sat*rday night i got married
me and my wife settled down
now, me and my wife are parted
i’m gonna take another stroll downtown

[chorus]
irene, goodnight
irene, goodnight
goodnight, irene
goodnight, irene
i’ll see you in my dreams

[verse 2]
sometimes i live in the country
sometimes i live in town
sometimes i take a great notion
to jump into the river and drown

[chorus]
irene, goodnight
irene, goodnight
goodnight, irene
goodnight, irene
i’ll see you in my dreams
[verse]
stop ramblin’, stop your gamblin’
stop staying out late at night
go home to your wife and family
stay there by your fireside, bright

[chorus]
irene, goodnight
irene, goodnight
goodnight, irene
goodnight, irene
i’ll see you in my dreams

[verse]
i love irene, god knows i do
love her till the river runs dry
and if irene should ever leave me
i’ll take morphine and die

[chorus]
irene, goodnight
irene, goodnight
goodnight, irene
goodnight, irene
i’ll see you in my dreams

[part three: leaving on a jetplane]

[verse 1]
all my bags are packed, i’m ready to go
i’m standing here outside your door
i hate to wake you up to say goodbye
but the dawn is breaking, it’s early morn
the taxi’s waiting, he’s blowin’ his h*rn
already i’m so lonesome i could die

[chorus]
so kiss me and smile for me
tell me that you’ll wait for me
hold me like you’ll never let me go
’cause i’m leaving on a jet plane
don’t know when i’ll be back again
oh babe, i hate to go

[verse 2]
there’s so many times i’ve let you down
so many times i’ve played around
i tell you now, they don’t mean a thing
every place i go, i’ll think of you
every song i sing, i’ll sing for you
when i come back, i’ll bring your wedding ring

[verse 3]
now the time has come to leave you
one more time, let me kiss you
then close your eyes and i’ll be on my way
dream about the days to come
when i won’t have to leave alone
about the times i won’t have to say

[chorus]
kiss me and smile for me
tell me that you’ll wait for me
hold me like you’ll never let me go
’cause i’m leaving on a jet plane
don’t know when i’ll be back again
oh babe, i hate to go

[outro]
i’m leaving on a jet plane
don’t know when i’ll be back again
oh babe, i hate to go
