Lowlands Of Holland - Steeleye Span

The love that I have chosen

I'll there with 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 what 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 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 withershins about

Then shall neither quiff come on

My head nor comb come in my hair

And 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
