4 New Holland is a bonny place,

but it is scant of men;

Yet to conquer New England

is what they do intend;

For there is none can win them,

so well they know the sea,

And the lowlands of Holland

hath twin'd my love and me.

Be still be still my daughter

be still and be content:

There are more lads in Galloway

thou needs not so lament

O there are none in Galloway

not one that longs for me

For I lov'd ne'er a love but one

who's drowned in the sea.

He was a comely proper youth

I lov'd him for my part

But death has taken him from me

which sore afflicts my heart:

And since that he's departed

I'll mourn and weep always,

That e'er he went to Holland

that was my earthly joys.

Unto the grave that he has gone

who was my comely dear,

May heaven receive my soul to rest

and guide me while I'm here.

I'll still lament in brinish tears

Until the day I die,

Since the lowlands of Holland hath twin'd my love and me.
