Lowlands Low Songtext
von Seán Dagher

Our packet ship is the Island lass
Lowlands, lowlands, lowlands, low
The old man′s howling at the main top mast
Lowlands, lowlands, lowlands, low!
Lowlands, boys, away, oh
Lowlands, lowlands, lowlands, low!

The cook is rigged in soldier's clothes
Lowlands, lowlands, lowlands, lowlands, low
Where he got them from? Nobody knows
Lowlands, lowlands, lowlands, lowlands, low!
Lowlands, boys, away, oh
Lowlands, lowlands, lowlands, lowlands, low

He gives us bread as hard as stone
Lowlands, lowlands, lowlands, lowlands, low
It′ll break your teeth, it'll shatter your bones
Lowlands, lowlands, lowlands, lowlands, low!
Lowlands, boys, away, oh
Lowlands, lowlands, lowlands, lowlands, low


We'll haul him high and let him dry
Lowlands, lowlands, lowlands, lowlands, low
We′ll leave him swinging in the sky
Lowlands, lowlands, lowlands, lowlands, low
Lowlands, boys, away, oh
Lowlands, lowlands, lowlands, lowlands, low

I wish I had ten thousand pounds
Lowlands, lowlands, lowlands, lowlands, low
I′d buy a ship and I'd sail around
Lowlands, lowlands, lowlands, lowlands, low!
Lowlands, boys, away, oh
Lowlands, lowlands, lowlands, lowlands, low

I′d fill her up with grub and gin
Lowlands, lowlands, lowlands, lowlands, low!
We'd stay in the port that we were in
Lowlands, lowlands, lowlands, lowlands, low!
Lowlands, boys, away, oh
Lowlands, lowlands, lowlands, lowlands, low!

I′d feed you well, and I'd raise your pay
Lowlands, lowlands, lowlands, lowlands, low
I′d fill your cups three times a day (lowlands, lowlands)
Lowlands, lowlands, lowlands, lowlands, low
Lowlands, boys, away, oh
Lowlands, lowlands, lowlands, lowlands, low


So lowlands, boys and off she goes
Lowlands, lowlands, lowlands, lowlands, low
Get dressed, me boys, in your shore-going clothes
Lowlands, lowlands, lowlands, lowlands, low!
Lowlands, boys, away, oh
Lowlands, lowlands, lowlands, lowlands, low

Lowlands, boys, away, oh
Lowlands, lowlands, lowlands, lowlands, lowlands, low
