Lowlands of Holland

performed by Norma Waterson and Martin and Eliza Carthy

This song is about a young man who is impressed by the British Navy on his wedding night must go to Holland (or possibly Dutch colonies or Australia [once known as New Holland]).

I was supposed to go to the Netherlands earlier this summer but due to overbooked flights I was only able to go to Paris (still pretty awesome ^_^). Hopefully I'll be able to go next year and I'll play this on my iPod while I'm there
