Our Singing Country
10  "If it wasn't for the love that I have for your men, I would serve you the same as Pve served them, As you sail in the low-down,
Low-down, low-down,
As you sail in the low-down, lonesome low."
11   Then he hoisted his sails, and away sailed he, And he left the poor sailor boy to drown in the sea, To drown in the low-down,
Low-down, low-down,
To drown in the low-down, lonesome low.
12   So he bared his breast and down swam he,
He swam till he came to the bottom of the sea, And he drowned in the low-down, Low-down, low-down, And he drowned in the low-down, lonesome low.
