On the night that I was married and in my marriage bed
There came the bold sea captain and stood at my bed-head
Sayin' “Arise, arise, young wedded man, arise and come with me
To the low lowlands of Holland to fight the enemy.“
For 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 is plentiful and tea grows on each tree
I never had but the one sweetheart and he's away from me
Says the mother to the daughter “Leave off your sore lament,
There are men enough in Galway to be your heart's content“.
“There are men enough in Galway but alas there is none for me
Since the high high winds and the stormy seas parted my love from me.“
I will wear no stays around my waist, no combs all in my hair
No handkerchiefs around my neck to hide my beauty fair
And never will I marry again until the day I die
Since the low lowlands of Holland parted my love and I
Since the low lowlands of Holland parted my love and I
