1938         Colcord, Joanna C. _Songs of American Sailormen_. New York: Norton.

I presume this was in the 1924 edition, too?
Where does she say she got it from? Again, I don't have my copy with me. Apparently she voiced the idea of the "dead lover" theme being earlier, etc. More details, please.

Based on just her lyrics, which I have *second-hand* (warning!) as follows, it looks like she did this: Took the first two verses based on the canonical print version from Alden, and then the other two verses come from Terry's collection.

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

I dreamed I saw my own true love,
Lowlands, Lowlands, away, my John,
I dreamed I saw my own true love,
My Lowlands, away!

She came to me all in my sleep,
Lowlands, Lowlands, away, my John,
I dreamed I saw my own true love,
My Lowlands, away!

And then I knew my love was dead.
Lowlands, Lowlands, away, my John,
I dreamed I saw my own true love,
My Lowlands, away!
