I dreamed a dream the other night
Lowlands, lowlands away, my John
I saw my love all dressed in white
My lowlands away

She came to me at my bedside
Lowlands, lowlands away, my John
Dressed all in white like some fair bride
My lowlands away

And nestled in her bosom there
Lowlands, lowlands away, my John
All the bows my love did wear
My lowlands away

She made no sign, no word she said
Lowlands, lowlands away, my John
And then I knew my love was dead
My lowlands away
