The Lowlands Of Holland · The Corries
A beautiful Scottish folk song of a young woman singing about her lost husband, who'd been conscripted/"pressed" by England into an Anglo-Dutch conflict in Europe/the West Indies.
"My love has built up a bonny ship, and he set her on the sea
With seven score good mariners, for to bear her company.
There is three score is sunk m' lads and three score dead at sea.
And the lowlands of Holland hae twined my love and me"

The fishing industry was destroyed, like so much in our fair country.
