Natalie Merchant - Diver Boy Lyrics
Young Emily was fair lady brightShe loved her diver boyWho sailed over the oceanTo gather up some goldSeven long years returning,His money for to showHed been sailing over the mainDown in the low land, lowmy father runs a big hotelDown by the river sideYou go there go for to stayAnd I shall be your brideMeet me early morningDont let my parents knowYou have been the diver boyDown in the low land, lowYoung Henry taking a drinkThat night before he went to bedNot thinking of the dangerThat crowned all over his headYoung Edward said to his father,lets take his money sureAnd send his body sinking fastDown in the low land, lowYoung Emily went to be that nightShe dreamed an awful dreamShe dreamed she sawHer true loves bloodGo flowing down the streamWaking early morningTo parents she did say,where could be that stranger boyWho came here for to stay?oh, father youre a robberYou robbed me of my wren!Oh brother you have murderedThe one that I loved best!The trees on yonder mountainAre bending to and froThey remind me of my diver boyDown in the low land, low
