about

Our updated instrument-having version of the sea shanty "Lowlands Away." Does that technically make it a cover? Who knows?

Why do a sea shanty? Because some of us come from sea-faring stock. Because the ocean is wide and beautiful. Because fuckin' pirates. Because we heard it in a video game. Because shanty punk.

lyrics

It being a hundreds of years old song, the lyrics tend to vary. But here's what I'm singing

I dreamed a dream the other night,
Lowlands, Lowlands, away
I dreamed a dream the other night,
Lowlands away.


I dreamed my love came in my sleep,
Lowlands, Lowlands, away
Her cheeks were wet; her eyes did weep.
Lowlands away.


She came to me as my best bride
Lowlands, Lowlands, away
All dressed in white like some fair bride.
Lowlands away.

No sound she made - no word she said,
Lowlands, Lowlands, away
And then I knew my love was dead.
Lowlands away.
