My love has built a bonnie ship and he set her on the sea

With seven score guid mariners for to bear her company

There is three score is sunk my lads, and three score dead at sea;

And the lowlands o' Holland hae twined my love and me

My love, he built another ship, and he set her on the main

Wi' none but twenty mariners for tae bring her safely hame;

There'll neither coif come on my head, nor comb come tae my hair;

For I never loved a love but ane, and he is drowned in the sea

O haud yer tongue, my daughter dear, be still and be content;

For I never loved a love but ain, and he is drowned in the sea
