Noted by J.E. Thomas, February 7th, 1927. Sung by John Farr, Gwithian, Cornwall.

50. Lowlands Away. [w/ score. Melody contains both natural and flatted seventh degree in major mode]

Lowlands, Lowlands, away, my John,
I thought I heard our captain say.
Lowlands, Lowlands, away, my John,
We're sailing straight for Mobile Bay,
My dollar and a half a day.

I thought I heard our captain cry
A dollar and a half is a whiteman's pay.
