Lowlands Away (B) [67]

*From the unabridged edition of Stan Hugill's SHANTIES FROM THE SEVEN SEAS (1961).

One of my favorite chanties.

This version of "Lowlands Away" is not all that different from Hugill's version(s) "A," having the same tune and not too different lyrics. Perhaps this semi-redundancy explains why it was omitted from the modern abridged edition. However, this gives me a chance to sing it again (my version A recording was kinda stinky)!
