| Came a riding into town | B |
| At the Sign o' the Jug and Jorum | A |
| There they met with Low lie down | B |

| Brave in shoes of Romany leather | C |
| Bodice blue and gypsy gown | B |
| And a cap of fur and feather | C |
| In the inn sat Low lie down | B |

| Then this John a dreams in tatters | E |
| In his pocket ne'er a crown | B |
| Touched her saying 'Wench what matters | E |
| Dry your eyes and come sit down | B |
| - | |
| 'Here's my hand we'll roam together | C |
| Far away from thorp and town | B |
| Here's my heart for any weather | C |
| And my dreams too Low lie down | B |
| - | |
| 'Some men call me dreamer poet | F |
| Some men call me fool and clown | B |
| What I am but you shall know it | G |
| Only you sweet Low lie down ' | - |
| - | |
| For a little while she pondered | H |
| Smiled then said 'Let care go drown ' | - |
| Up and kissed him Forth they wandered | H |
| John a dreams and Low lie down | B |
