Lowlands Of Holland |
| The love that I have chosen I therewith be content |
| The salt sea shall be frozen before that I repent |
| Repent it shall I never until the day I dee |
| But the lowlands of Holland has twined my love and me |
| My love lies in the salt sea and I am on the side |
| It’s enough to break a young thing’s heart that lately was a bride |
| But lately was a bonny bride with pleasure in her e’e |
| But the lowlands of Holland has twined my love and me |
| My love he built a bonny ship and set her on the sea |
| With seven score good mariners to bear her company |
| But there’s three score of them is sunk and three score dead at sea |
| And the lowlands of Holland has twined my love and me |
| My love has built another ship and set her on the sea |
| And nane but twenty mariners all for to bring her hame |
| But the weary wind began to rise, the sea began to roll |
| And my love then and his bonny ship turned withershins about |
| There shall nae a quiff come on my head, nor comb come in my hair |
| There shall neither coal nor candlelight shine in my bower mair |
| And neither will I marry until the day I dee |
| For I never had a love but one and he’s drowned in the sea |
| Oh hold your tongue my daughter dear, be still and be content |
| There’s men enough in Galloway, you need not sore lament |
| Oh there’s men enough in Galloway, alas there’s none for me |
| For I never had a love but one and he’s drowned in the sea |
