The Lowlands Of Holland Lyrics

[ Traditional ]

On the night that I was married 
And upon my marriage bed 
There came a bold sea captain 
And he stood at my bedhead 
Saying, "arise, arise, young wedded man 
And come along with me 
To the lowlands of Holland 
To fight the enemy" 

Now then, Holland is a lovely land 
And upon it grows fine grain 
Surely 'tis a place of residence 
For a soldier to remain 
Where the sugar cane is plentiful 
And the tea grows on the tree 
Well, I never had but the one sweetheart 
And now he's gone far away from me 

I will wear no staysail around my waist 
Nor combs all in in my hair 
I will wear no scarf around my neck 
for to save my beauty there 
And never will I marry 
Not until the day that I die 
Since these four winds and these stormy seas 
Came between my love and I
