Lowlands Away

I dreamed a dream the other night,
3 -3 4 -4 -4 4 -3 3
Lowlands, Lowlands, away, my John.
4 3 4 -4 5 4 -3 3
My love she came dressed all in white,
3 -3 4 -4 -4 4 -3 3
Lowlands away.

(REPEAT)

I dreamed my love came in my sleep,
Lowlands, Lowlands, away, my John.
Her cheeks were wet, her eyes did weep.
Lowlands away.

She came to me at my bed-side,
Lowlands, Lowlands, away, my John.
All dressed in white like some fair bride.
Lowlands away.

And bravely in her bosom fair,
Lowlands, Lowlands, away, my John.
A red, red love did my love wear.
Lowlands away.

She made no sound-no word she said,
Lowlands, Lowlands, away, my John.
And then I knew my love was dead.
Lowlands away.

I bound the weeper round my head,
Lowlands, Lowlands, away, my John.
For now I knew my love was dead.
Lowlands away.

And I awoke to hear the cry,
Lowlands, Lowlands, away, my John.
‘Oh, watch on
deck, oh, watch ahoy!’
Lowlands away.
