Diver Boy

Young Emily was fair lady bright
She loved her diver boy
Who sailed over the ocean
To gather up some goldSeven long years returning
His money for to show
Hed been sailing over the main
Down in the low land, lowMy father runs a big hotel
Down by the river side
You go there, go for to stay
And I shall be your brideMeet me early morning
Dont let my parents know
You have been the diver boy
Down in the low land, lowYoung Henry, taking a drink
That night before he went to bed
Not thinking of the danger
That crowned all over his headYoung Edward said to his father
Lets take his money sure
And send his body sinking fast
Down in the low land, lowYoung Emily went to bed that night
She dreamed an awful dream
She dreamed she saw her true loves blood
Go flowing down the streamWaking early morning
To parents she did say
Where could be that stranger boy
Who came here for to stay?Oh father, youre a robber
You robbed me of my wren
Oh brother, you have murdered
The one that I loved bestThe trees on yonder mountain
Are bending to and fro
They remind me of my diver boy
Down in the low land, low
