Lowlands

I dreamed a dream the other night

Lowlands, lowlands away my John

My love she came dressed all in white

Lowlands, my lowlands away.

She came to me at my bed-side

Lowlands, lowlands away my John

All dressed in white like some fair bride

Lowlands, my lowlands away.

And bravely in her bosom fair

Lowlands, lowlands away my John

A red, red rose did my love wear

Lowlands, my lowlands away.

She made no sound-no word she said

Lowlands, lowlands away my John

And then I knew my love was dead

Lowlands, my lowlands away.

I bound the weeper round my head

Lowlands, lowlands away my John

For now I knew my love was dead

Lowlands, my lowlands away.

She waved her hand-she said goodbye

Lowlands, lowlands away my John

I wiped the tear from out my eye

Lowlands, my lowlands away.

And then awoke to hear the cry

Lowlands, lowlands away my John

"Oh, watch on deck, oh, watch ahoy"

Lowlands, my lowlands away.
