Lyrics
On the night that I was married
And in my married bed
There came a bold sea captain
Who stood at my bed head
Arise, arise, young married man
And go along with me
To the lowlands of Holland
To fight the enemy
And it's love that I have chosen
To solve my heart's content
The salt sea shall be frozen
Before this I'll repent
Repent it shall I never
Until the day I die
For the lowlands of Holland
Have parted my love and I
Said a mother to her daughter
"Leave off your sore lament
Is there ne'er a man in Ireland
To be your heart's content?"
Oh, were men enough in Ireland
Alas, there is none for me
Since high winds and stormy seas
Have carried my love from me
I'll wear no stays around my waist
Nor combs all in my hair
I'll wear no scarf around my neck
To save my beauty bare
And never will I marry
Until the day I die
For the lowlands of Holland
Came 'tween my love and I
And never will I marry
Until the day I die
For the lowlands of Holland
Came 'tween my love and I
