The lowlands of Holland
My love has built a
bonny ship and set her on the seaTraditional With seven score good mariners to bear her company But there's three score is sunken and three score dead at sea And the lowlands of Holland has twined my love and me My love he built another ship and set her on the wave And nane but twenty mariners all for to bring her hame But the weary wind began to rise, and the sea began to roll My love and his bonny ship turned with the shins about Oh hold your tongue my daughter dear, be still and be content There's men enough in Galloway, you need not sore lament Oh there's men enough in Galloway, alas there's none for me For I never had a love but one and he's drowned in the sea (lyrics version of Steeleye Span) |
