The Lowlands Of Holland

Verso 1:
C                               F
Now when that I was married
C                      Am
And in my marriage bed

C                     F
There came a bold sea captain
 C                G    C
And he stood at my bed head

C          G                   F            C
Saying, ' A-rise, A-rise, young wedded man

F         C             Am
And come along with me
  C
To the lowlands of Holland
Am   F        C
For to fight the enemy'

Now Holland is a lovely land

     C                      Am
And in it there grows fine grain
C                               F
It is a place of residence
C                G    C
 For soldiers to remain
C          G                   F            C
Now the sugarcane grows plentiful
F         C             Am
 The tea grows on each tree
  C
 I only had the one to love
Am   F        C
 And now he's gone far away from me

Verso 3:
C                               F
Said the mother to her daughter
C                      Am
 'Give up your soil and bed
C                     F
 Is there ne'er a man in Ireland?
C                G    C
 That will be your heart content
C          G                   F            C
 Way there's men enough in Ireland
F         C             Am
 But alas there is none for me
  C
 Since high wind and stormy sea's
Am   F        C
 Have parted me love and me

I'll wear no shoes all on my feet
C                      Am
No comb all in my hair
C                     F
I'll wear no handkerchief around my neck
C                G    C
For to shade my beauty fair
C          G                   F            C
And neither will I marry
F         C             Am
Until the day I die
  C
Since high wind and stormy sea's
Am   F        C
Have parted me love and I
