Lowlands

I dreamed a dream the other night

Lowlands, lowlands away, my John

My love she came all dressed in white

Lowlands away

I dreamed my love came in my sleep

Lowlands, lowlands away, my John

Her cheeks were wet, her eyes did weep

Lowlands away

I dreamed my love came to my bedside

Lowlands, lowlands away, my John

All dressed in white like some fair bride

Lowlands away

And bravely 'gainst her bosom fair

Lowlands, lowlands away, my John

A red red rose my love did wear

Lowlands away

No words she spoke, nothing she said

Lowlands, lowlands away, my John

And then I knew my love was dead

Lowlands away

Then I awoke to hear that awful cry

Lowlands, lowlands away, my John

Oh, watch on deck, oh watch ahoy

Lowlands away

I dreamed a dream the other night

Lowlands, lowlands away, my John

My love she came all dressed in white

Lowlands away
