lyrics

I dreamed a dream the other night
- Lowlands, lowlands away, my John
Dreamed a dream the other night
- Lowlands away

I dreamed I saw my own true love,
He stood so still, he did not move,

So pale his skin, so dim his eye,
I knew he'd come to say goodbye.

He stood so pale and damp and cold
Around his form green weeds had hold.

'I'm drowned in the Lowland Seas,' he said,
'You and I will ne'er be wed.'

'I'll never kiss you more,' he said,
'Ne'er kiss you more, for I am dead.'

I'll cut away my bonnie hair,
No other man will think me fair.

I'll bind the weeper round my head,
That all will know my love is dead.

My love is lost in the misty Lowlands,
- Lowlands, lowlands away, my John
My love is lost in the misty Lowlands.
- Lowlands away
