Young Edmund In The Lowlands Low Lyrics - Artist : Brady, Paul
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 That he had gained down on the main And ploughed the Lowlands Low Her Father 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 That ploughed the Lowlands Low" As Edmund he did enter there And all his gold did show Says Emily's cruel Father "This gold will be your foe For I'll send your body sinkin' Down in the Lowlands Low" As Edmund he did go to bed And scarce had fell asleep When Emily's cruel Father Into his room did creep Then early the next morning To the beach, sure he did go And he sent his body sinkin' Down in the Lowlands Low Young 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 That ploughed the Lowlands Low Sayin', "Father, where's that stranger Who came 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 That ploughed the Lowlands Low" And 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 Dearest That ploughed the Lowlands Low |
