letra de young edmind in the lowlands low - george hanna & sarah anne o'neill

young emily being a servant girl, her lover a sailor bold
he ploughed the main, much gold to gain, for emily we are told
when seven long years had passed and gone, he did return home
he landed to his emily and all his gold did show
sure, that he had gained down on the main, and ploughed the lowlands low

her father he kept a public house; it stood down by the sea
“young edmund you can enter there and all night you can stay
and i’ll meet you here tomorrow, but don’t let my father know
that your name it is young edmund who ploughed the lowlands low.”

as edmund he did enter there and all his gold did show
said emily’s cruel father, “this gold will be your foe
for i’ll send your body sinking down in the lowlands low.”

ah, as edmund he did go to bed and scarce had fell asleep
when emily’s cruel father into the room did creep
he dragged and raised him out of bed, and to the beach did go
and he sent his body sinking down in the lowlands low

as emily on her pillow lay, she had a frightful dream
she dreamt she saw her young edmund lying in a crystal stream
then early the next morning to her father’s house did go
all because she loved him dearly, who ploughed the lowlands low

saying, “father, where’s the stranger come here last night to lie?”
“oh, he is dead; no tales he’ll tell,” her father did reply
“then, father, cruel father, you will die a public show
for the murder of young edmund, who ploughed the lowlands low.”
then emily’s cruel father could not day or night get rest
for the cruel deed that he had done he therefore did confess
he was tried and he was sentenced and he died a public show
for the murder of young edmund, dears, who ploughed the lowlands low
