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
