the lowlands of holland

	On the night that I was married and in my marriage bed
	There came the bold sea captain and stood at my bed-head
	Sayin' “Arise, arise, young wedded man, arise and come with me
	To the low lowlands of Holland to fight the enemy.“

	For Holland is a lovely land and in it grows fine grain
	It is a place of residence for soldiers to remain
	Where the sugar cane is plentiful and tea grows on each tree
	I never had but the one sweetheart and he's away from me

	Says the mother to the daughter “Leave off your sore lament,
	There are men enough in Galway to be your heart's content“.
	“There are men enough in Galway but alas there is none for me
	Since the high high winds and the stormy seas parted my love from me.“

	I will wear no stays around my waist, no combs all in my hair
	No handkerchiefs around my neck to hide my beauty fair
	And never will I marry again until the day I die
	Since the low lowlands of Holland parted my love and I
	Since the low lowlands of Holland parted my love and I
