The Lowlands - Nitty Gritty Dirt Band/Jamie Hanna/Jonathan McEuen

I'm headed for the lowlands

Would you please direct my way

The train is leaving shortly

There's no time for delay

She told me she'd be waiting

I'm not so sure she is

I heard that there's another man

Who claims that she is his

The lowlands were my home when I was but a child

They will be my deathbed when I've past my time

I remember one summer day

The clouds began to build

We gathered the cattle that had scattered 'cross the fields

Well it started to rain and continued several days

The river overflowed and the crops all went to waste

The lowlands were my home when I was but a child

They will be my deathbed when I've past my time

You know that I'm no failure though my victories are few

I'm trying my best but there's too much here to do

That girl I love once told me I made here feel secure

It's hard to think I've been replaced

Nothing does endure

The lowlands were my home when I was but a child

They will be my deathbed when I've past my time
