    They sent his body floating down to
    the Low Lands Low
    3.
    Mother where's the stranger lad that came
    here last night to say.
    He's dead and gone, no tales can tll
    Her father then did say
    Father cruel father you'll die a public show
    For the murdering of young Edwin
    Who ploughed the Low Lands Low
    4.
    The fishes of the ocean swim o'er
    my loves breast.
    His body rolls in motion, I hope
    his soul at rest.
    How cruel were my parents to ?
    his over throw
    They took the gold of him so bold
    who ploughed the Low Lands Low.
