Edwin In The Lowlands Low

Young Edward came to Emily his gold all for to show
That he has made all on the lands, all on the lowlands low
My father keeps a boarding house, all down by yonder sea
And you go there this night and until morning be

Young Emily in her chamber, she dreamed and awful dream
She dreamed she saw young Edward’s blood, go flowing down the stream
She rose so early in the morning, and dressed herself although
To go and see young Edward, who ploughs the lowlands low

Oh father, where’s that stranger, came here last night to dwell
His body’s in the ocean, and you no tales must tell
Oh father, of father, you’ll die a public show
For the murdering of young Edward, who ploughs the lowlands low

Away then to some councilor to let the deeds be known
The jury found him guilty, his trial to come on
On trail they found him guilty, and hanged was to be
For the murdering of young Edward, who sloughed the lowlands low
