The Lowlands of Holland

My love has built a bonny ship, and he set her on the sea
With seven score good mariners, tae bear her company
But oh, there is three score are sunk and three score drowned in the sea
The lowlands of Holland hae twined my love and me
 
My love, he’s built another ship, and he set her on the main
Wi’ nane but twenty mariners tae bear him safely hame
But the weary wind began tae rise, the sea began tae rout
My love then and his bonny ship turned withershins about
 
There will neither quiff come on my heid nor comb come tae my hair
There will neither coal nor candlelight shine in my bower nae mair
Nor will I love another yin until the day I dee
For I never loved a love but ane, and he′s drowned in the sea
 
Oh haud your tongue, my daughter dear, be still, and be content
There are mair lads in Gallowa', ye need not sair lament
Oh, there is nane in Gallowa', there′s nane at all for me
For I never loved a love but ane, and he’s drowned in the sea
