The Lowlands - Nitty Gritty Dirty Band
I'm heading for the Lowlands,
won't 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
Chorus
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
which had scattered cross the fields
Well it started to rain
and continued several days
The river overflowed
and the crops all went to waste
Chorus
Solo
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 loved once told me
I made her feel secure
It's hard to think I've been replaced
but nothing does endure
I'm heading for the Lowlands,
won't 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
