| A sailing on the sea | B |
| Her masts were of the shining gold | C |
| Her deck of ivory | B |
| And sails of silk as soft as milk | D |
| And silver shrouds had she | B |
| - | |
| And round about her sailing | A |
| The sea was sparkling white | E |
| The waves all clapped their hands and sang | F |
| To see so fair a sight | E |
| They kissed her twice they kissed her thrice | G |
| And murmured with delight | E |

| Then came the gallant captain | H |
| And stood upon the deck | I |
| In velvet coat and ruffles white | E |
| Without a spot or speck | I |
| And diamond rings and triple strings | J |
| Of pearls around his neck | I |
| - | |
| And four and twenty sailors | K |
| Were round him bowing low | L |
| On every jacket three times three | B |
| Gold buttons in a row | L |
| And cutlasses down to their knees | M |
| They made a goodly show | L |
| - | |
| And then the ship went sailing | A |
| A sailing o'er the sea | B |
| She dived beyond the setting sun | H |
| But never back came she | B |
| For she found the lands of the golden sands | N |
| Where the pearls and diamonds be | B |
