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

I dreamed my love came to my side
All dressed in white like some young bride.

And then she spoke in tender voice
Which made my poor old heart rejoice.

Oh, Lowlands men they're strong and brave
My Lowlands man ploughs the salt sea wave.

And Lowlands maids are fair and true
This Lowlands maid she loves you so.

I took her in my fond embrace
Then kissed her sweet and smiling face.

Then I awoke to a horrible cry
Next watch on deck! Next watch ahoy!

I dreamed the dream the other night
I dreamed the dream the other night.
