There was a request for this song a couple of newsletters ago. It's on the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band's Circle III album, and features Jaime Hanna and Jonathan McEuen, who are the sons of two NGDB Members. There's one line in the second verse I couldn't quite catch the lyrics, so if anyone can figure them out, I'd appreciate it. It's the one that starts out, We gathered.....the fields.
The Lowlands Nitty Gritty Dirty Band
I'm [G] heading for the [C] Lowlands,
won't you [F] please direct my [D] way
The [G] train is leaving [Am] shortly,
there's [D] no time for de [G] lay
She told me she'd be [C] waiting,
I'm [F] not so sure she [D] is
I [G] think that there's a [Am] nother,
who [F] claims that she is [G] his
Chorus
[D] Lowlands were my [Am] home,
when [D] I was but a [G] child
[D] They will be my [Am] deathbed,
[D] when I'm past my [G] time
I [G] remember one [C] summer day,
the [F] clouds began to [D] build
We [G] gathered the [Am] crops
and [D] scanned across the [G]fields
It [G] started to [C] rain
and con [F] tinued several [D] days
The [G] river over [Am] flowed
and the [D] crops all went to [G] waste
Chorus
Solo
You [G] know that I'm no [C] failure,
though my [F] victories are [D]few
I'm [[G] trying my [Am] best
but there's [D] too much here to [G]do
That [G]girl I loved once [C] told me
I [F] made her feel se [D] cure
It's [G] hard to think I've [Am] been replaced
but [D] nothing does en [G]dure
