THE LOWLANDS - Nitty Gritty Dirt Band (featuring Jaime Hanna and Jonathan McEuen)
[Verse 1]
I'm heC#maded for the lowlaAnds would you please direct my waEy
The train is leaving Bshortly there's no time for de-C#mlay
She tC#mold me she'd be wAaiting I'm not so sure she isE  
I heard that there's Banother man who claims that she is C#mhis
[Chorus]
The lowC#mlands were my Bhome when I was but a chiC#mld
they will be my deaBthbed when I've passed my tC#mime
[Verse 2]
I remC#member one sAummer day the clouds began to buEild
We gathered the Bcattle that had scattered cross the fC#mields
Well it started to Arain and continued several Edays
The river over-flBowed and the crops all went to wC#maste
[Chorus]
The lowC#mlands were my Bhome when I was but a chiC#mld
they will be my deaBthbed when I've passed my tC#mime
[Verse 3]
You kC#mnow that I'm no faAilure through my victories are feEw
I'm trying my Bbest but there's too much here to C#mdo
That girl I Alove once told me I made her feel seE-cure
It's hard to think I've Bbeen replaced. Nothing does en-C#mdure.
