LOWLANDS away my John
1. I dreamed a dream the other night,
Ch. Lowlands, Lowlands, away, my John.
My love came in all dressed in white,
Ch. Lowlands, 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 at my bed-side,
All dressed in white like some fair bride.

4. And bravely in her bosom fair,
red, red rose did my love wear.

5. No sound she made 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 to bid goodbye,
I wiped the tear from out my eye.

8. And then awoke to hear the cry,
'Oh, watch on deck, oh, watch ahoy!'
