Subject: Lyr Add: THE LOWLANDS LOW (P. J. McCall) From: radriano Date: 30 Sep 02 - 01:18 PM I am hoping someone will be able to help with the lyrics for this song from Jimmy Crowley's cd "The Coast of Malibar." Crowley attributes the song to P.J. McCall. There is a song of the same title in the Celtic Lyrics website which is listed as traditional there and, aside from the same first two verses, different lyrics. Here's what I was able to transcribe from the Jimmy Crowley recording followed by the lyrics given in the Celtic Lyrics site: The Lowlands Low Author: P.J. McCall Jimmy Crowley, The Coast of Malibar Dunmore we quitted, Michelmas come by Cowhides and wool and live cargo Twenty young wild geese, ready fledged to fly Sailin' in the Lowlands low The Lowland low, the Lowlands low Sailin' in the Lowlands low John Calls the skipper from the church of Crook Piery keeps log for his father Crew all from Bannow, Fethard and the Hook Sailing in the Lowlands low The Lowland low, the Lowlands low Sailin' in the Lowlands low Those twenty young wild geese gave Queen Anne the slip Crossin' to [louvey] to Flanders He and Jack [ ] both are in the [ ] Fightin' in the Lowlands low In the Lowlands low, the Lowlands low Fightin' in the Lowlands low Close lay [ ] off the Isle of White [ ] Out of the sea mist we bade him goodnight Death or else the Lowlands low The Lowlands low, the Lowlands low Death or else the Lowlands low Pray, holy Brendan [ ] [ may sink us [ ] Sailin' in the Lowlands low In the Lowlands low, the Lowlands low Sailin' in the Lowlands low The Lowlands Low We sailed out of Dunmore Michelmas gone by Cowhides and wool and live cargo Twenty young Wild Geese ready fledged to fly Sailing for the lowlands low The lowlands low, the lowlands low Sailing for the lowlands low Sean Rouse the skipper from the church of Crook Piery keeps log for his father Crew all from Bannow, Fethard and the Hook Sailing for the lowlands low The lowlands low, the lowlands low Sailing for the lowlands low Ready with priming we'd our galliot gun Muskets and pikes in good order We should be riddled captives would be none Death or else the lowlands low The lowlands low, the lowlands low Sailing for the lowlands low A pirate approached us many leagues from shore We fought and we sunk him in good order He'll go a-roving plundering no more Sailing for the lowlands low The lowlands low, the lowlands low Sailing for the lowlands low We smuggled out the Wild Geese weapons safe ashore Then we unloaded our cargo A fair wind is blowing we're headed for Dunmore Sailing from the lowlands low The lowlands low, the lowlands low Sailing from the lowlands low The lowlands low, the lowlands low Sailing from the lowlands low |

Subject: RE: Help with lyrics for Lowlands Low From: radriano Date: 30 Sep 02 - 02:28 PM Thank you Wolfgang! For some odd reason I never searched the DT on this. |
Subject: RE: Help with lyrics for Lowlands Low From: Wolfgang Date: 30 Sep 02 - 02:42 PM Richard, I had the advantage that I knew for sure the lyrics were in the DT. So I wasn't put off the track by not finding them under 'L'. Wolfgang |
