Lowlands my lowlands away my John

Lowlands away I hear them say

Lowlands my lowlands away

I dreamed a dream the other night

I saw my true love all in white

I dreamed my love came in my sleep

And said my dear why do you weep

I’m drowned in the lowland seas he said

And the wet green weeds are all my bed

Oh my love he’s drowned in the lowland seas

And never again shall I please he

I’ll cut away all my bonny hair

No other man shall deem me fair
