I dreamed a dream the other night
Lowlands, lowlands away my John
I dreamed a dream the other night
Lowlands away

I dreamed my love came standing by
Lowlands, lowlands away my John
Came standing close by my bedside
Lowlands away

He’s drowning in the lowland sea
Lowlands, lowlands away my John
And never more coming home to me
Lowlands away

He’s drowning in the lowlands low
Lowlands, lowlands away my John
And never more shall I him know
Lowlands away

He’s drowning in the windy lowlands
Lowlands, lowlands away my John
He’s drowning in the windy lowlands
Lowlands away

I dreamed a dream the other night
Lowlands, lowlands away my John
I dreamed a dream the other night
Lowlands away
