LOWLANDS away my John 1. I dreamed a dream the other night, Ch. Lowlands, Lowlands, away, my John. My love came in all dressed in white, Ch. Lowlands, 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 at my 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. No sound she made 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 to bid goodbye, I wiped the tear from out my eye.
8. And then awoke to hear the cry, 'Oh, watch on deck, oh, watch ahoy!'
