Lowlands
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
I dreamed a dream the other night
Lowlands
Lowlands away me John
My love she came
Dressed all in white
Lowlands away
I dreamed my love
Came in my sleep
Lowlands
Lowlands away me John
Her cheeks were wet
Her eyes did weep
Lowlands away
She came to me
At my bedside
Lowlands
Lowlands away me John
All dressed in white
Like some fair bride
Lowlands away
And bravely in
Her bosom fair
Lowlands
Lowlands away me John
A red, red rose
My love did wear
Lowlands away
No sound she made
No words she said
Lowlands
Lowlands away me John
And then I knew
My love was dead
Lowlands away
Then I awoke
To hear the cry
Lowlands
Lowlands away me John
All watch on deck
All watch ahoy
Lowlands away
