He went unto young Emma's house his gold all for to show
     Gm     D               Gm              D7       Gm
That he had gained upon the main all in the lowlands low.

When Emily's cruel parents soft into his room did creep

They stabbed him, dragged him out of bed and to the sea did go
              D    Gm             D7              Gm
They sent his body floating, down to the lowlands low
    Bb                  F             Gm                 D

His body rolls in motion I hope his soul's at rest
    Bb              F         Gm             D
The shells upon the sea shore rolling to and fro
    Gm    D        Gm         D7                    Gm
Remind me of young Edwin that ploughed the lowlands low


   Gm     D       Gm              D7                Gm

Her shrieks were for young Edwin that ploughed the lowlands low.
