Lowlands Of Holland Lyrics


Steeleye Span Lowlands Of Holland


the love that i have chosen, i'll therewith be content
and 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 een.
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 anither ship and set her on the main.
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 with the
shins 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.
