Lyrics
I went unto my love's chamber window
Where I often had been before
Just to let her know unto Flandyke Shore
Unto Flandyke Shore
Never to return to England no more
Never to return to England no more
I went unto my love's chamber door
Where I never had been before
There I saw a light springing from her clothes
Springing from her clothes
Just as the morning sun when first arose
Just as the morning sun when first arose
As I was walking on the Flandyke Shore
Her own dear father I did meet
"My daughter she is dead" he cried
"She is dead" He cried
"And she's broken her heart all for the love of thee"
So I hove a bullet on to fair England's shore
On to fair England's shore
Just where I thought that my own true love did lay
