I dreamed a dream the other night
Lowlands, lowlands away, my John
My love, she came, dressed all in white
Lowlands away

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

She came to me at my bedside
All dressed in white, like some fair bride

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

She made no sound, no word she said
And then I knew my love was dead

Then I awoke to hear the cry
Oh, watch on deck, oh, watch, ahoy!
