Lowlands Away
(Trad)
I dreamed a dream the other night
Lowlands, Lowlands away my John
I dreamed a dream the other night
Lowlands away

I dreamt and saw my own true love
Lowlands, Lowlands away my John
I dreamt and saw my own true love
Lowlands away

I dreamt my love was drowned and dead
Lowlands, Lowlands away my John
I dreamt my love was drowned and dead
Lowlands away
This beautiful slow shanty is derived from the sea song Lowlands of Holland.
