Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Lowlands of Holland (from Patrick Galvin)
for the heck of it, I got the 4th verse as:

"I will wear no shoes along my feet, no comb will rend my hair,
I will wear no handkerchief round my neck, for to shade my beauty fair,
and never will I marry, until the day i die,
for high, high winds, and stormy seas have parted me love and me."
(NOTE: last me pronounced somewhere between "me" and "mie")
