1917        Robinson, Captain John. "Songs of the Chanty-Man: I." The Bellman 23(574) (14 July 1917): 38-44.

After Alden (1882), this is the first published version I am seeing --in which I have confidence-- to have the "dream." Robinson sailed from the 60s onward. However, he does make this disclaimer about his presentation:

As may well be imagined, I cannot exactly recall all the original verses... In a crude way, however, I have endeavored to carry the spirit and sense of the originals into the words which I have written down.

His "Lowlands":


Lowlands. [w/ score]

Last night I dreamt of my true love.
Lowlands, Lowlands, away my John.
She begged me ne'er again to rove.
my Lowlands away.
