"Well, I will give you silver, and I will give you gold And my fair young daughter your bonny bride shall be If you'll swim alongside of the Spanish enemy And sink her in the lowland, lowland, low And sink her in the lowland sea." So the boy he made him ready, and overboard sprang he And he swam alongside of the Spanish enemy And with his brace and auger in her side he bored holes three And he sank her in the lowland, lowland, low He sank her in the lowland sea. Then quickly he swam back to the cheering of the crew But the captain would not heed him, for his promise he did rue And he scorned his bold entreaty, as loudly he did sue And he left him in the lowland, lowland, low He left him in the lowland sea. The 'round about he turned, and he swam to the port side And up unto his messmates, most bitterly he cried, "Oh, messmates pull me up, for I'm drifting with the tide And I'm sinking in the lowland, lowland, low, I'm sinking in the lowland sea." So his messmates drew him up, but on the deck he died And we stitched him in his hammock which was so deep and wide And we lowered him overboard, and he drifted with the tide And he sank into the lowland, lowland, low He sank into the lowland sea. ***************************** GREENSLEEVES ***************************** CHORUS: Greensleeves was all my joy Greensleeves was my delight Greensleeves was my heart of gold And who but my Lady Greensleeves Alas, my love, you do me wrong to cast me off discourteously And I have lo--ved you so long delighting in your company CHORUS I have been ready at your hand to grant whatever you would crave I have both wagered life and land your love and good will for to have CHORUS Thou couldst desire no earthly thing but still thou hadst it readily Thy music still to play and sing and yet thou wouldst no love me CHORUS Well, I will pray to God on high that thou my constancy mayest see And that yet once before I die thou wilt vouchsafe to love me CHORUS ********************** HAL-AN-TOW ********************** CHORUS: Hal-an-tow, jolly rumble-o!

He staggered off until he could no longer keep his feet, then stumbled off into the grass to sleep beside the street. CHORUS: Ring-ding-diddle-iddle-I-dee-oh, Ring-dy-diddly-I-oh, (Repeat last line of previous verse) Later on two young and lovely ladies happened by. One says to the other with a twinkle in her eye, "See yon sleeping Scotsman, so strong and handsome built, "I wonder if it's true what they don't wear beneath their kilt." CHORUS They crept up on that sleeping Scotsman quiet as could be, lifted up his kilt about an inch so they could see. And there, behold for them to view, beneath his Scottish skirt, was nothin' more than God had graced him with upon his birth. CHORUS They marveled for a moment, then one said, "We must be gone. Let's leave a present for our friend before we move along." As a gift they left a blue silk ribbon tied into a bow. Around the bonny star the Scotsman's kilt did lift and show. CHORUS Well, the Scotsman woke to nature's call and stumbled toward the trees. Behind a bush he lifts his kilt and gawks at what he sees. And in a startled voice he says to what's before his eyes, "Oh, lad I don't know where ye've been but I see ye've won first prize."

"Take off, take off your golden gown take off your gown," cried he "For though I am going to murder you I would not spoil your finery." "Oh, turn around, you false young man oh turn around," cried she "For 'tis not meet that such a youth a naked woman should see." He turned around, that false young man and faced the willow tree And seizing him boldly in both her arms she threw him into the sea. "Lie there, lie there, you false young man lie there, lie there," cried she "Six little maidens you've drownded here now keep them company!" He sank beneath the icy waves he sank down into the sea And no living thing wept a tear for him save the lonely willow tree.
