about

A shanty or sea-song, Lowlands Away has been sung by many, sometimes with the story of a sailor dreaming of his lost love, sometimes from the perspective of someone left behind on land, knowing their love will not return.

lyrics

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

I dreamed I saw my own true love,
Lowlands, lowlands away, my John,
I dreamed I saw my own true love,
Lowlands away.

And the salt sea-weed was in his hair,
Lowlands, lowlands away, my John,
And the salt sea-weed it was in his hair,
Lowlands away.

He made no sound, no word he said,
Lowlands, lowlands away, my John,
And then I knew my love was dead,
Lowlands away.

My love lies drowned in that lowlands sea,
Lowlands, lowlands away, my John,
My love lies drowned in that lowlands sea,
Lowlands away.
