Flandyke Shore
I went unto my love's chamber window
Where
I often I had been before
Just to let her know unto Flandyke Shore
Unto Flandyke Shore
Never to return to England
no more
Never to return to England no more
I went uto my love's chamber door
Where I'd never had 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 meet
"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 hoved a bullet onto fair England's shore
Onto fair England's shore
Just where I thought
that my own true love did lay
Trad. Arr. Nic
Jones
Flandyke Shore can be found on Nic's
classic album, Penguin Eggs, and on two Albion Band albums, Acousticity and Along The Pilgrims Way.
