Paroles:
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!
