Lowlands Away
Traditional
Traditional
I dreamed a dream the other night
Lowlands, lowlands away my John
I dreamed a dream the other night
Lowlands away
I dreamed I saw my own true love
Lowlands, lowlands away my John
He stood so still, he did not move
Lowlands away
So dank his hair, so dim his eye
Lowlands, lowlands away my John
I knew he'd come to say goodbye
Lowlands away
"I'm drowned in the lowland sea," he said.
Lowlands, lowlands away my John
"Oh you and I will ne'er be wed."
Lowlands away
"I'll never kiss you more," he said
"Ne'er kiss you more, for I am dead."
I will cut off my bonny hair
No other man will find me fair
I dreamed a dream the other night
I dreamed a dream the other night
