Posted by mary on 8/5/2006, 1:58 am Said the father to the daughter there's not a lad in our town No hankerchief shall bind my head and neither shall I marry since he was drowned at sea. I know the tune but can't remember the lyrics or the artist I heard sing it. Any help?

I have a snipet of a song that I'm trying to track down. If you have ever heard of this or know the rest, let me know:
what makes you so lament
there's many a lad in our town who'll make your heart content
not a lord nor duke said she
since the raging seas and stormy winds parted my love and me
No comb go through my hair
No firebright nor candle light
shall view my beauty fair
until the day I die
since the stormy seas and raging winds
parted my love and I
I think I heard this as a child but only remember those lyrics printed above.
