until the day I die,Since the Lowlands of Holland,hath twin'd my Jove and me.
My love he built a bonny ship,and sent her to the sea,With seven score brave mariners,to bear her company.Three score were in a storm sunk,and three score died at sea;And the Lowlands of Holland,hath twin'd my love and me.
Their main-mast was hewn down,their yards and riggings gone,Their ropes and their anchors,were over shipboard blown.Out over shipboard they were blownby a tempest in the sea;And the Lowlands of Holland,hath twin'd my love and me.
My lovo he built another ship,and sent her to the main,Now hath not twenty mariners,to bring her safely hame,The weary winds did roar again,which rais'd the raging sea.
