Lyrics of Flandyke shore

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.
