I'm headed for the lowlands, won't you please direct my way
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, that 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 begin to build
We gathered the cattle, which had scattered 'cross the fields
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
ย
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
