Lowlands Away

Traditional

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!
