Thread Name: Lyr Req: Scots songs about Poland/Germany/Prussia
Subject: lyric query: 'Low Germany?'
Does anyone recognise this?

Oh, woe unto these cruell wars
That ever they began!
For they have reft my native isle
Of many a pretty man.

First they took my brothers twain
Then wiled my love frae me:
Oh, woe unto these cruell wars
In low Germanie!

Any ideas of a melody?
