Scripto Transcription A written representation of a document. Marriage Bed When I was of marriage age Laid on a marriage bed There came a noble press gang And stood at my bed head, Saying, “Arise! O arise! you new married man And go along with me To the lowlands of Holland To fight your enemy.” My wife she cast her arms around Me thinking I could stay I said to her, “My dearest dear, This night I must away “Away, away,” said he, “where the roaring Roaring billows roar, But if e’er I return again I’ll spend my life on shore” “No shoes or socks on my feet No red rose in my hair No firelight or no candle bright Shall show my beauty fair, “No never will our marriage be No never till I die Since the lowlands of Holland Has parted my love and I.” “O daughter! daughter!” mother says, “Why do you so lament, Ain’t there men enough in our town To give you heart’s content?” “If there’s men enough in our town There’s none enough for me, Since the lowlands of Holland Has parted my love and me. “O mother, Mother, don’t you see, That ship a sailing down the other side Its enough to break a fair maids heart Or lose a good man’s bride. “That little maid, a bride,” said she, “Most glorious to behold May the Gods above protect my love A glorious sailor bold.” RRR folk songs Marriage Bed songs and music love songs and music sailors
