lyrics

I dreamt a dream the other night
Ch. Lowlands, lowlands, away my John
I dreamt a dream the other night
Ch. My lowlands, away.

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

I knew my love was drowned and dead,
He stood so still, no word he said.

All dank his hair, all dim his eye,
I knew that he had said goodbye.

All green and wet with weeds so cold,
Around his form green weeds had hold.

'I'm drowned in the Lowland Seas, ' he said,
'Oh, you an' I will ne'er be wed.'

'I shall never kiss you more, ' he said,
'Never kiss you more --- for I am dead.'

'I will cut my breasts until they bleed.'
His form had gone --- in the green weed.

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

I bound the weeper round my head,
For now I knew my love was dead.

My love is drowned in the windy Lowlands,
My love is drowned in the windy Lowlands,
