jim moray - edward of the lowlands lyrics
come all you wild young people and listen to my song
concerning gold as i’ve been told, has done so many wrong
young emma was a servant girl, her lover a sailor bold
he’s ploughed the main much gold to gain for his love, we are told
young emma she did daily mourn when first young edward roamed
but seven long years been passed and gone young edward hailed his home
he went up to young emma’s house, his store of gold to show
that he had gained all on the main above the lowlands low
her father kept a public house that stood down by the quay
“young edward you may enter in and thеre the night you may stay
i’ll meet you in the morning, but don’t lеt my parents know
that your name it is young edward who ploughed the lowlands low”
that night as she lay sleeping, she dreamed a dreadful dream
she dreamed her love lay weeping, his blood flowed in a stream
she rose up in the morning and to her home she did go
because she loved him dearly who ploughed the lowlands low
“oh father, where’s the sailor boy who came this night to stay?”
“he is dead, no tales ‘im tell,” her father to her did say
“oh father, cruel father, you’ll die a public show
for the murder of my edward who ploughed the lowlands low”
the fishes of the ocean swim o’er my lover’s grave
his body rocks in motion, pray god his soul to save
how cruel were my parents, for to murder edward so
and steal the gold from one so bold to plough the lowlands low
