Traditional:

I dreamed my love came in my sleep

Lowlands - Lowlands away my John.


His eyes were wet as he did weep

My Lowlands away


I shall never kiss you again he said

Lowlands - Lowlands away my John.


For I am drowned in the Lowland seas

My Lowlands away


No other man shall think me fair

Lowlands Lowlands away my John


My love lies drowned in the windy

Lowlands My Lowlands away



The author of this website has put a lot of time and effort into gathering the greatest collection of sea shanties for the world to enjoy - There are songs that have been to sung to a job of work at sea for many, many years and collecting them has been a great endeavour. - Roger Chartier has made the effort out of his own interest and the requests that he has gotten to do this work from fellow musicians who wanted a good source of sea shanties to draw on and learn from. He has been told that for this effort he is a remarkable man.
