Edwin in the Lowlands Low (feat. Tim O'Brien)

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
