Lowlands (feat. Eric D. Johnson, Josh Kaufman, & Anais Mitchell)

I dreamed a dream the other night
Lowlands away, lowlands away my John
Dreamed I saw my own true love
Lowlands away, lowlands away my John
Sailing on an angry sea
In the fog of my sleep you came to me
Well my lowlands away, my lowlands away my John

He is gone to Mobile Bay
Lowlands away, lowlands away my John
Working for a dollar and a half a day
Lowlands away, lowlands away my John
He is gone to New Orleans
To spit in the eye of a hurricane
Well my lowlands away, my lowlands away
My lowlands away, lowlands away my John

(Instrumental)

I cut off all my long black hair
While my lowlands away, my lowlands away
My lowlands away
No other man will think me fair
Lowlands away, lowlands away my John
Dreamed a dream the other night
I dreamed I saw my own true love
Well my lowlands away, my lowlands away
My lowlands away
My lowlands away, my lowlands away
My lowlands away
My lowlands away, my lowlands away
My lowlands away, lowlands away my John
