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

I dreamed my love came in my sleep,
Her cheeks were wet; her eyes did weep.

My love she came all dressed in white
She came to me as my best bride

And bravely in her bosom fair,
A red, red rose, did my love wear.

No sound she made - no word she said,
And then I knew my love was dead.

I bound her wreath around my head
For now I knew my love was dead

And then awoke to hear the cry,
"Oh, watch on deck, oh, watch ahoy!"
