The Lowlands Of Holland - The Dubliners

The night that I was married and in my married bed

Up comes the bold sea captain and stands at my bed head

Saying 'arise, arise, young wedded man and come along

With me

To the Lowlands of Holland for to fight the enemy'

Oh, 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 grows plentiful and the tea grows on

Each tree

I never had but the one sweetheart and she’s far away

From me

Says the mother to the daughter 'leave off your sore

Lament

There’s men enough in Galway to be your heart’s content'

'There's men enough in Galway, but alas there’s none for

Me

Since the high winds and the stormy seas have parted my

Love and me'

'i'll wear no stays around my waist, no combs all in my

Hair

No handkerchief around my neck, to shade my beauty fair

And neither will I marry until the day I die

Since the high winds and the stormy seas have parted my

Love and I'
