Lowlands of Holland |
| The love that I have chosen, I’ll therewith be content |
| The salt sea shall be frozen, before that I repent |
| Repent it shall I never, until the day I die |
| For the Lowlands of Holland have twined my love and I |
| My love lies in the salt sea, and I am on the side |
| Enough to break a young thing’s heart, what lately was a bride |
| What lately was a bonny bride, and pleasure in her eye |
| For the Lowlands of Holland have twined my love and I |
| My love he built a bonny ship and set her on the sea |
| With seven score good mariners for to bear her company |
| But the weary winds began to rise, the sea began to rout |
| And my love then and his bonny ship turned withershins about |
| There shall neither coif come on my head, nor comb come through my hair |
| There shall neither coal nor candle-light shine in my bower mair |
| Nor will I love another one, until the day I die |
| For the high winds and stormy seas have twined my love and I |
| Oh hauld your tongue my daughter dear, be still and be content |
| There are mair lads in Galloway, ye need na sair lament |
| Oh there is nane in Galloway, there’s nane at a' for me |
| For I never loved a love but one, and he’s drowned in the sea |
