Flanders Shore Lyrics

Nic Jones Flanders Shore

I went unto my own love's chamber window,

Where I had often been before,

To tell my love unto Flandyke shore,

Unto Flandyke shore,

Never to return to England no more,

Never to return to England no more.



I went unto my own love's chamber door,

Where I had never been before.

I saw a light springing from her clothes,

Springing from her clothes,

Just like the morning sun when first arose,

Just like the morning sun when first arose.



As I was walking on the Flandyke shore

Her own dear father I did see.

"My daughter she is dead," he cried.

"She is dead," he cried.

"And she's broken her heart all for the love of thee."

So I hove a bullet onto fair England's shore,

Onto fair England's shore,

Just where I thought my own true love did lay.
