Steeleye Span - Lowlands of Holland

Experience the emotional journey of a young woman in the Scottish folk song "Lowlands of Holland". This powerful song depicts her husband's conscription by the English into an Anglo-Dutch conflict in the West Indies and her unwavering grief at his death, refusing to adorn herself or marry again. Listen to the heartfelt rendition by the English folk band Steeleye Span, featured on their debut album "Hark! The Village Wait" (1970).

"...her husband's conscription by the English into an Anglo-Dutch conflict..." Her husband being an entrepreneur ["My love has built another ship" 3:20] she blames the land of windmills and tulips (not depicted) for her loss, not the lowlands of England.
