The Lowlands Of Holland |
| As I went out one May morning down by the riverside |
| By shadows there and trees so bare, alas to be me bride |
| Alas to be me bride, me boys, and the chambers to behold |
| I’ll never ever forget my love, a jolly sailor bold |
| I built my love a gallant ship, a ship of noble frame |
| Wi' a hundred jolly sailor boys to box her about the main |
| Aye, to box her about the main, me boys, without any fear or doubt |
| Wi' me own true love in that gallant ship, we were sadly tossed about |
| Oh the anchor and the cable went overboard straightway |
| And the mainmast and the rigging lie a-buried in the sea |
| 'Twas Tempest sent bad weather and the raging of the sea |
| Well, I never had but one true love, he was drowned at sea |
| Said the father to the daughter, «What makes you sore lament? |
| Oh there is a lad that’s in our town will make your heart content» |
| «No, there is no lad that’s in our town, no noble or duke,"cried she |
| «Since the raging seas and stormy winds parted my love and me» |
| «No hankerchief will find my head, no comb go through my hair |
| No fire bright nor candle light will view my beauty fair |
| Oh never will I married be until the day I die |
| Since the raging seas and stormy winds parted me love and I» |
| Oh as I went out one May morning down by the riverside |
| By shadows there and trees so bare, alas to be me bride |
| Alas to be me bride, me boys, the chambers to behold |
| I’ll never ever forget my love, a jolly sailor bold |
