	Edwin in the Lowlands Low
	5 The fish that's in the ocean Swims over young Edward's breast, While his body's in the ocean I hope his soul's at rest, For his name it was young Edward, Who ploughed the lowlands low.
	B
	2   My father keeps a public house On yonders river side. Go ye, go there and enter in And there this night abide. 3   Be sure that you tell nothing, Nor let my parents know That your name it is young Edmund, Who drove in the lowlands low. 4   Young Edmund fell a-drinking When time for to go to bed. He did not know that his sword that night Would part his neck and head. 5   Miss Emily up next morning, The sun was shining bright, Saying : I am going to marry the driver boy, Who come here to stay last night. 6  O daughter, dear daughter Emily, His gold we will make sure. I've here sent his body a-drowning Way down in the ocean low. 170
