LOWLANDS

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 I saw my own true love,
Lowlands, lowlands away, my John,
I dreamed I saw my own true love,
Lowlands, my lowlands, away.

And the salt sea weed it was in her hair,
Lowlands, lowlands away, my John,
And the salt sea weed it was all in her hair,
Lowlands, my lowlands away.

It was then I knew that my love was dead
Lowlands, lowlands away, my John,
It was then I knew that my love was dead
Lowlands, my lowlands away.

My love lies drowned in that lowland sea,
Lowlands, lowlands away, my John,
My love lies drowned in that lowland sea,
Lowlands, my lowlands away.

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


and

IN THE HILLS OF SHILOH

Have you seen Amanda Blaine in the hills of Shiloh
Wandering through the morning rain through the hills of Shiloh
Have you seen her at her door, listening for the cannon's roar
And a man who's gone to war from the hills of Shiloh

Have you seen her haunted eyes in the hills of Shiloh
Have you heard her mournful cries in the hills of Shiloh
Have you seen her running down searching through the sleeping town
In her yellowed wedding gown in the hills of Shiloh

Have you seen her standing there in the hills of Shiloh
Wind a blowing through her hair in the hills of Shiloh
Listening for the sound of guns listening for the rolling drums
And a man who never comes to the hills of Shiloh

Have you heard Amanda sing in the hills of Shiloh
Whispering to her wedding ring in the hills of Shiloh
Hear her humming soft and low, poor Amanda doesn't know
'Twas ended forty years ago in the hills of Shiloh
