[Verse 1]
I dreamed a dream the other night
Lowlands, lowlands away, my John
My love, she came all dressed in white
Lowlands away

[Verse 2]
I dreamt my love came in my sleep
Lowlands, lowlands away, my John
Her cheeks were wet, her eyes did weep
Lowlands away

[Verse 3]
She came to me at my bedside
Lowlands, lowlands away, my John
All dressed in white, like some fair bride
Lowlands away

[Verse 4]
And bravely in her bosom fair
Lowlands, lowlands away, my John
A red, red rose my love did wear
Lowlands away

[Verse 5]
She made no sound, no word she said
Lowlands, lowlands away, my John
And then I knew my love was dead
Lowlands away
[Verse 6]
Then I awoke to hear the cry
Lowlands, lowlands away, my John
Oh watch on deck, oh watch ahoy
Lowlands, my lowlands away
