LOWLANDS AWAY

(Dead Woman Version)

Chorus:s

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!
