Intro: Vamp on C#m using suggested finger picking pattern above
I'm headed for the lowlands would you please direct my way
The train is leaving shortly there's no time for de-lay
She told me shd'd be waiting I'm not so sure she is
I heard that there's another man who claims that she is his
CHORUS:
The lowlands were my home when I was but a child
they will be my deathbed when I've passed 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 over-flowed and the crops all went to waste
to chorus
You know that I'm no failure through 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 her feel se-cure
It's hard to think I've been replaced. Nothing does en-dure.
to chorus
