[Fragment from Ozark Folksongs- Randolph comments: "Learned about forty-five years ago, in Taney County, Mo. He says he used to know many verses of the "Lonesome Low" song, but can recall only one stanza now."

D. "Lonesome Low." Sung by Mr. Charles Ingenthron, Walnut Shade, Mo. Learned circa 1897, collected Sept. 6, 1941.

If it wasn't for the love that I have for your men,
I would do unto you as you've done unto them,
I would sink you in the low, of the lonesome Low,
I would sink You in the dark blue sea.
