I dreamed a dream the other night,
Lowlands, Lowlands Away, me John
My love she came dressed all in white,
Lowlands away.

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

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

And bravely in her bosom fair,
Lowlands, Lowlands Away, me John
red, red rose did my love wear.
Lowlands Away

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

When I awoke to hear the cry,
Lowlands, Lowlands Away, me John
'Oh, watch on deck, oh, watch ahoy!'
Lowlands Away
