The Lowlands of Holland

The Lowlands of Holland - The Clancy Brothers

The night that I was married

And lay my marriage bed

All came the bold sea captain

And an stood at my bed head

Sayin' arise arise you wedded man

And come along with me

To the lowlands of Holland

For or two face your and meet

For Holland is a lovely land

And in it grows fine grain

It is a place of residence

For a soldier to remain

Where the sugarcane is plentiful

And the tea grows on each tree

I never had but the one sweetheart

And he's far away from me

Says the mother to the daughter

Leave off your sore lament

There's men enough in Galway

To be your heart's content'

'There's men enough in Galway

But alas there's none for me

Since the high winds

And the stormy seas parted my

Love and me'

Far the star we windows began to blue

And the sea state lardly lord

And the captain or is gailing ship

Was never sing no more

I'll wear no stays around my waist

No combs all in my hair

No handkerchief about my neck

To hide my beauty fair

And neither will

I marry until the day I die

Since they high winds

And the rolling seas to parted my

Love and I

Far the star me windows began to blue

And the seas did lardly lord

And the captain or is gailing ship

Was never sing no more
