The Turkey-Rogher Lee and the Yellow Golden Tree

"I'll give you gold and I'll give you fee,
     Sing o'er the lowlands, O,
I'll give you gold and I'll give you fee,
And my oldest daughter your wedded wife shall be
If you'll sink her in the lowlands, so lowly and so low
If you sink her in the lowlands, O so low.

"I won't you gold and I won't give you fee,
     Sing o'er the lowlands, O,
I won't give you gold and I won'tl give you fee,
And my oldest daughter your wedded wife shan't be
O, you've sunk her in the lowlands, so lowly and so low
O, you've sunk her in the lowlands, O so low.

"I f it wan't for the ship and it wasn't for the men,
     Sing o'er the lowlands, O,
"I f it wan't for the ship and it wasn't for the men,,
I'd serve you as I've just served them
I'd sink her in the lowlands, so lowly and so low
I'd sink her in the lowlands, O so low.
