Testo Diver Boy Natalie Merchant
His money for to show
Heâd been sailing over the main
Down in the low land, low
âmy father runs a big hotel
Down by the river side
You go there go for to stay
And I shall be your bride
Meet me early morning
Donât let my parents know
You have been the diver boy
Down in the low land, lowâ
Young Henry taking a drink
That night before he went to bed
Not thinking of the danger
That crowned all over his head
Young Edward said to his father,
âletâs take his money sure
And send his body sinking fast
Down in the low land, lowâ
Young Emily went to be that night
She dreamed an awful dream
She dreamed she saw
Her true loveâs blood
Go flowing down the stream
Waking early morning
To parents she did say,
âwhere could be that stranger boy
Who came here for to stay?â
âoh, father youâre a robber
You robbed me of my wren!
Oh brother you have murdered
The one that I loved best!
The trees on yonder mountain
Are bending to and fro
They remind me of my diver boy
Down in the low land, lowâ
