There are various versions of The Lowlands Of Holland and there is indeed English versions but this is actually a Scottish version of the song. Like many old folk songs we don't really know whether it originates in Scotland or England but this version is Scottish - just listen to the words it even places it in Galloway. Tune first published if the Caledonian Pocket Company 1745; then in David Herd's Scots Songs of 1776 and The Scots Musical Museum of 1788.

This English song dates to the time of the Seven Years War, fought in the Low Countries and Prussia/Silesia in the mid-eighteenth century. At the Battle of Minden, 1759, various English regiments advanced to meet the enemy. As they echeloned forward, they passed through rose gardens, where yellow and red roses grew. The flowers reminded the soldiers of home and, soldiers being a sentimental lot in their own way, they plucked them and wore them in their shakos (so the story goes)."Minden Day" is celebrated to this day by numerous British Army regiments. One such is the 1st Battalion, Royal Anglian Regiment, successor to the 12th Regiment of Foot (Suffolk Regiment), who were one of the regiments at Minden. On Minden Day, they wear decorate their colours with red and yellow roses.A version of this song exists in Suffolk, which has a verse which refers to the roses of Minden:"My love across the oceanWears a scarlet coat so fair,With a musket at his shoulderAnd roses in his hair"

I've always loved Gay's take on this song. She was ever more reticent than Maddy and far the better for it (sorry!) The fragility and unsureness in her vocal take here gives it enormous strength, emotionally speaking. The band's a powerhouse behind her and her vocal is heartbreaking, riding on those waves. Gay simply never put a foot wrong with a vocal. Steeleye, Woods Band, Auto Da Fe, all of it.

I much prefer the vocals of the late Ronnie Drew (RIP) on this great song.

This is a variant of Lowlands of Holland, an English song which appears in print in 1760 as The Sorrowful Lover's Regrate. There are countless variants to the tune and melody. Digital Tradition has six sets of lyrics and four melody variants for Lowlands of Holland.There are many shanties dealing with "the Lowlands" including Lowlands, Lowlands Away, The Lowland Sea, and The Golden Vanitee. Sailors were variously singing about Holland, Scotland and Virginia when they sang of the Lowlands.*In addition a variant of Lowlands is found in the Appalachians as Lily of Arkansas.

Wikipedia:Until well into the 19th century, the Royal Navy depended on impressment as a means to crew its warships. "The Lowlands of Holland" likely originated during the Anglo-Dutch Wars in the 17th century, and enjoyed revivals in popularity during the Wars of Louis XIV and the Napoleonic Wars. In some versions, the vegetation mentioned indicates that "Holland" may have become conflated with Dutch colonies in the West Indies, or with New Holland, an early name for Australia.

For those that might be confused, the "lowlands of Holland" doesn't refer to the Netherlands at all, but rather to one of the distant reaches of the earth first explored by Dutch ships and later by hundreds of English vessels -- either "New Holland" (Australia) or the Dutch West Indies.

The best version of lowlands of Holland by any one ever fact.

Michael Dineen

There is another version of the song' sung to a different air than this one.Ronnie Drew recorded it in the 70's. His version does not have as many verses. It is great to hear different versions of folk songs. Does anyone know if Steeleye Span's material is on c.d.?

This song has been in my bloodstream close on 40 years. Gay's delivery is definitive, she is such an underrated singer. Such power and such restraint.
