Lowlands of Holland

The love that I have chosen I'll therewith be content The salt sea shall 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 eyes 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 wind began to rise, the sea began to roll And my love then and his bonny ship turned widdershins about There shall neither quiff come on my head nor comb come in my hair There shall neither coal nor candlelight shine in my bower mair Nor will I love another one, until the day I die For the high wind and stormy sea 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
