[Verse 1]
I dreamed a dream the other night
Lowlands, lowlands away, my John
I dreamed a dream the other night
My lowlands away
[Verse 2]
I dreamed I saw my own true love
Lowlands, lowlands away, my John
I dreamed I saw my own true love
My lowlands away
[Verse 3]
He was green and wet with weeds so cold
Lowlands, lowlands away, my John
He was green and wet with weeds so cold
My lowlands away
[Verse 4]
I'll cut away my bonny hair
Lowlands, lowlands away, my John
For no other man shall think me fair
My lowlands away
[Verse 5]
For my love lies drowned in the windy lowlands
Lowlands, lowlands away, my John
For my love lies drowned in the windy lowlands
My lowlands away
