The Dubliners - Ragtime Annie lyrics
[The Dubliners - Ragtime Annie lyrics]
The night that I was married
And in my married bed
Up comes the bold sea captain and
Stands at my bed head saying 'arise, arise
Young wedded man and come along with me
To the Lowlands of Holland for
To fight the enemy'
Oh, Holland is a lovely land and
In it grows fine grain
It is a place of residence
For soldiers to remain
Where the sugar cane grows plentiful and
The tea grows on each tree
I never had but the one sweetheart
And she's far away from me
Says the mother to the daughter
'leave off your sore lament
There's men enough in Galway to
Be your heart's content'
'There's men enough in Galway
But alas there's none for me
Since the high winds and the stormy seas
Have parted my love and me'
'I'll wear no stays around my waist
No combs all in my hair
No handkerchief around my neck
To shade my beauty fair
And neither will I marry until the day I die
Since the high winds and the stormy seas
Have parted my love and I'
And in my married bed
Up comes the bold sea captain and
Stands at my bed head saying 'arise, arise
Young wedded man and come along with me
To the Lowlands of Holland for
To fight the enemy'
Oh, Holland is a lovely land and
In it grows fine grain
It is a place of residence
For soldiers to remain
Where the sugar cane grows plentiful and
The tea grows on each tree
I never had but the one sweetheart
And she's far away from me
Says the mother to the daughter
'leave off your sore lament
There's men enough in Galway to
Be your heart's content'
'There's men enough in Galway
But alas there's none for me
Since the high winds and the stormy seas
Have parted my love and me'
'I'll wear no stays around my waist
No combs all in my hair
No handkerchief around my neck
To shade my beauty fair
And neither will I marry until the day I die
Since the high winds and the stormy seas
Have parted my love and I'
