Young Edmund in the Lowlands Low Paul Brady

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"
