19 THE GOLDEN VANITIE (CHILD, No. 286) FRAGMENTS
Lowlands Low- Recited by Will Barrett 1929
My father had a ship in the north counteree,
She sails by the name of the Golden Vanitie,
I'm afraid she will be taken by some pirate ship at sea
As she sails along the Lowlands low,
As she sails along the lonesome sea.
