Lowlands Lyrics

lowlands lowlands away my dear
my old mother wrote to me
my dollar in a half a day
she told me to come home from sea
lowlands lowlands away my dear
five dollars a day is white mans pay five dollar in a half a day
dollar in a half is black mans pay
lowlands lowlands away my dear
i had a dream the other night
my dollar in half a day
i dreamed i was coming home from sea
lowlands lowlands away my dear
my old mother wrote to me
my dollar in a half a day
she told me to come home from sea
