There was a family that lived on the isle Of St. Sebastian a long, long while The head of family was a Holland man And the younger brother, his name was Rand Ah woe, ah me, shame and sorrow for the family The Holland man kept in a tower A wife as pretty as a big white flower She saw the brother and she stole his heart And that's how the badness and the trouble start Ah woe, ah me, shame and sorrow for the family The wife and the brother they want to go But the Holland man he tell them no The wife fall down and the evil came And it burned her mind in the fewer flame Ah woe, ah me, shame and sorrow for the family Her eyes are empty and she cannot talk And the nurse has come to make her walk The brothers are lonely and the nurse is young And now you may see that my song is sung Ah woe, ah me, shame and sorrow for the family Ah woe, ah me, shame and sorrow for the family
