Well, blow me down! Never noticed that MusTrad had in fact printed the set of lyrics used for the Down fishing wars. A bit harsh to call it 'bowdlersised' though, Giock - this is exactly what Ewan would do himself to many a traditional tune upon which he hung topical lyrics.

The re-released Topic CD the piece is about difinitely has the original lyrics to 'Shoals of Herring'.
