Lowlands
The Longest Johns
I dreamed a dream the other night Lowlands, lowlands away, my John My love, she came all dressed in white Lowlands away
I dreamt my love came in my sleep Lowlands, lowlands away, my John Her cheeks were wet, her eyes did weep Lowlands away
She came to me at my bedside Lowlands, lowlands away, my John All dressed in white, like some fair bride Lowlands away
And bravely in her bosom fair Lowlands, lowlands away, my John A red, red rose my love did wear Lowlands away
She made no sound, no word she said Lowlands, lowlands away, my John And then I knew my love was dead Lowlands away
Then I awoke to hear the cry Lowlands, lowlands away, my John Oh watch on deck, oh watch ahoy Lowlands, my lowlands away
