The Flandyke Shore Lyrics - John Wesley Harding

I went unto my love's chamber window 

Where I often 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 unto my love's chamber door 

Where I 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 hove a bullet on to fair england's shore 

On to fair england's shore 

Just where I thought that my own true love did lay
