But my eldest daughter your wife shall never be.

As we sail to the Lowlands low."

Out spoke the little cabin-boy, out spoke he;

"Then hang me, I'll sink ye as I sunk the French gallee.

As ye sail to the Lowlands low."

The boy he swam round all by the starboard side,

When they pu'd him up on buird it's there he soon died;

They threw him o'er deck-buird to go down with the tide,

And sink off the Lowlands low.
