[Gm] On the night that I was married
And in my [G]
marriage [Gm] bed
There came a ball sea captain
And he stood at [C] my bed [Gm] head
Saying arise, [C] arise
He of
[Gm] this night fought to go with me
To the low, [A] low lands of honour
To fight the enemy
[Gm] Oh, I held my love all in my arms
Still hoping he might stay
When the captain he gave another order
And we had to march away
Saying there's many a blithe young married man
This night must go with me
To the low, low lands of honour
To fight the enemy
[G] Ah, but Holland it [Cm] is a wondrous [G] place
And in it grows much green
It is a wild inhabitation
For my love [Eb] to be in
[Gm] Well it is [C] there to grow and the [G] way to blow
And [Gm] strange fruit grows on every tree
It is the wild, wild lands of Holland
For Ted, my love
And no shoe, no stocking will I put on
And no comb to go through my hair
And nor shall day or [G] candlelight shine on
Nor shall I sleep with any young [Gm]
man
Till the [G] day I die
For the low, low lands of Holland
For Ted, my love
[Eb] [N]
And in my [G]
marriage [Gm] bed
There came a ball sea captain
And he stood at [C] my bed [Gm] head
Saying arise, [C] arise
He of
[Gm] this night fought to go with me
To the low, [A] low lands of honour
To fight the enemy
[Gm] Oh, I held my love all in my arms
Still hoping he might stay
When the captain he gave another order
And we had to march away
Saying there's many a blithe young married man
This night must go with me
To the low, low lands of honour
To fight the enemy
[G] Ah, but Holland it [Cm] is a wondrous [G] place
And in it grows much green
It is a wild inhabitation
For my love [Eb] to be in
[Gm] Well it is [C] there to grow and the [G] way to blow
And [Gm] strange fruit grows on every tree
It is the wild, wild lands of Holland
For Ted, my love
And no shoe, no stocking will I put on
And no comb to go through my hair
And nor shall day or [G] candlelight shine on
Nor shall I sleep with any young [Gm]
man
Till the [G] day I die
For the low, low lands of Holland
For Ted, my love
