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 to my bedside
Lowlands away

He's drowning in the lowlands sea
Lowlands, lowlands away, my John
And evermore coming back to me
Lowlands away

He's drowning in the lowlands low
Lowlands, lowlands away, my John
And evermore shall I him know
Lowlands away

He lies there in the windy lowlands
Lowlands, lowlands away, my John
He lies there in the windy lowlands
Lowlands away
