Lowlands, Lowlands ,away ,my John
Lowlands away,
I Heard them say,
My dollar and a half a day
My dollar and a half a day
Is a Hooser's pay

Lowlands, Lowlands ,away ,my John
Is a very good pay
My dollar and a half a day
Oh, was you ever in Mobile Bay

Lowlands, Lowlands ,away ,my John
 [bad word] the cotton by the day
My dollar and a half a day
All in right,my [bad word] love came
Lowlands, Lowlands ,away ,my John
All in right,my [bad word] love came
My dollar and a half a day

She came to me all in my sleep
She came to me all in my sleep

And her eyes were write my love
And her eyes were write my love

And then I know my love was dead
And then I know my love was dead
