Callenig from South Wales recorded this on their 'Trade Winds' CD in '94 under the title 'Lowlands'. Their notes say, "William Fender brought this song back to South Wales from Valparaiso, Chile, where he learned it in 1885 when he shipped there aboard the Ingomar. Carpenter sub-titles it 'A Dollar and A Half" in his notes; it certainly caries widely from the better known versions of Lowlands ('I Dreamed A Dream The Other Night')."
