Lowlands Away, My John
I dreamed a dream the other night.
Lowlands, lowlands away, my John!
My love she came all dressed in white ...
My lowlands away...
She came to me at my bedside,
Lowlands, lowlands away, my John!
All dressed in white silk some fair bride.
My lowlands away...
And bravely in her bosom there,
Lowlands, lowlands away, my John!
A red, red rose my love did wear.
My lowlands away...
She made no sound nor word she said
Lowlands, lowlands away, my John!
And then I knew my love was dead.
My lowlands away...
I bound a weeper round my head,
Lowlands, lowlands away, my John!
For then I knew my love was dead.
My lowlands away...
And then awoke to hear the cry
Lowlands, lowlands away, my John!
A watch on deck, a watch ahoy.
My lowlands away...
