Lowlands Away

Lowlands, Lowlands, away, my John

Lowlands away I heard them say

My Lowlands away

1. I dreamed a dream the other night

Ch. Lowlands, Lowlands, away, my John

My love she came dressed all in white

Ch. My Lowlands away

2. I dreamed my love came in my sleep

Her cheeks were wet, her eyes did weep

3. She came to me as my best bride (at mt bed-side)

All dressed in white like some fair bride

4. And bravely in her bosom fair

A red, red rose did my love wear

5. She made no sound-no word she said

And then I knew my love was dead

6. I bound the weeper round my head

For now I knew my love was dead

7. She waved her hand-she said goodbye

I wiped the tear from out my eye

8. And then awoke to hear the cry

'Oh, watch on deck, oh, watch ahoy!'

Variations on the chorus are:

Lowlands, Lowlands, hurrah my Jo

Lowlands, high, Lowlands, alay!

Lowlands, Lowlands, hooraw my John

My Lowlands aray!
