Lowlands, lowlands away my john
My old mother wrote to me
My dollar and a half a day
She told a me to come home from sea
Lowlands, lowlands away my john
Five dollars a day is white man's pay
My dollar and a half a day.
Dollar and a half is black man's pay.
Lowlands, lowlands away my john
I had a dream the other night
My dollar and a half a day
I dreamed I was coming home from sea
Lowlands, lowlands away my john
My old mother wrote to me
My dollar and a half a day
She told a me to come home from sea
My old mother wrote to me
My dollar and a half a day
She told a me to come home from sea
Five dollars a day is white man's pay
My dollar and a half a day.
Dollar and a half is black man's pay.
I had a dream the other night
My dollar and a half a day
I dreamed I was coming home from sea
My old mother wrote to me
My dollar and a half a day
She told a me to come home from sea
