lyrics
The lu that I hae chosen I’ll herewith be content
The saut sea shall be frozen afore that I repent
Repent it shall I never until the day I dee
But the lowlands o Holland hae twined ma lu an me.
Ma lu lies in the saut sea an I am on the side
Enough tae brak a young thing's heart who lately wis a bride.
Who lately wis a bonny bride wi pleasure in her een.
But the lowlands o Holland hae twined ma lu an me.
Ma lu he built a bonny ship an set her on the sea
Wi seven score guid mariners tae bear her company.
But four score were sunk an three score deid at sea
An the lowlands o Holland hae twined ma lu an me.
Ma lu he built anither boat an set her on the main
Wi nane but twenty mariners tae bring her hame.
But the weary wind began tae rise an the sea began to rout
An ma lu then an his bonny boat turned widdershins aboot.
There shall nae a quiff cam on ma heid nor comb cam in ma hair
There shall neither coal nor candlelicht shine in my bower mair.
I’ll ne’er lu anither ain until the day I die
For I ne’er had a lu but ain and he's drounéd in the sea.
Go haud your tongue my dauchter dear,lie still an be content.
There are mair lads in Gallowa, ye needna sair lament.
There are mair lads in Galloway, but there’s nane at aa for me
For I ne’er lu’d a lu but ain an he's drooned in the sea.

Thanks for the beautiful music Karine and Dave. it's been a while since I've felt so emotional listening to a new album. Every lyric is so beautifully supported by the piano parts. Laura-Beth Salter
