Flandyke Shore lyrics

FLANDYKE SHORE



(Trad; arr;Gil Goldstein-Traditional, arranged by
Peter Webster)



I went unto my own love's chamber window,

Where I had often been before,

Just to let her know love unto flandyke
shore,

Unto Flandyke shore,

Never to return to England no more,

Never to return to England no more. 

 

I went unto my love's
chamber door,

Where I never been before.

There i saw a light
springing from her clothes,

Springing from her clothes,

Just as the
morning sun when first arose,

Just as the morning sun when first arose.


 



As I was walking on the Flandyke shore

Her own dear
father I did need

"My daughter she is dead," he cried.

"She is
dead," he cried.

"And she's broken her heart all for the love of
thee."

So I hove a bullet onto fair England's shore,

Onto fair
England's shore,

Just where I thought my own true love did lay.
