Текст пісні Lowlands - Odetta

Lowlands

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
