[Fragment from Ozark Folksong by Vance Randolph; Vol. 1, British Ballads and Songs]
C. Lonesome Low- Sung by Mr. Ben Rice, Springfield, Mo., Apr. 12, 1934.
They hadn't been a-sailin'
More'n a week or two or three,
When at last they come in sight
Of the Turkish Shogeree,
While she's sailin' in the lowlands, The lonesome low,
While she's sailin' in the lowlands alone.
