	  		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 plentifu 
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

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

 Since high wind and stormy sea's 
Am   F        C 
 Have parted me love and me

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
