Lowlands of Holland (Live)

On the night that I was married and on my marriage bed
There came a bold sea-captain, and he stood at my bedhead
Saying, "Oh rise, oh rise, young married a man this night and go with me
To the low-lowlands of Holland to face the enemy"

Oh, I held me love all in my arms, still thinking I might stay
When the captain he gave another order, and we forced to march away
Saying, "There's many in the blithe, young married man, this night must go with me
To the low-lowlands of Holland to face the enemy"

Now Holland is a wondrous place and in it grows much green
It is a wild in habitation for me true love to be in
Where the grass do grow and the warm winds blow
And there's fruit on every tree
And below lowlands of Holland parted me love and me

There shall no hat go on my head, no comb go through my hair
There shall no coal nor candlelight shine in my bower fair
Nor will I lie with any young man until the day I die
Since the low lowlands of Holland parted me love and I
