This is not a traditional song . It was written by Ewan McColl in 1960

Crockett isn't asking for the McColl song - he wants one about the fish gutting lassies who follow the shoals of herring wehen they're landed.

Thanks for trying anyway, Keith. McColl's is a great song, and it's nice to be reminded of it, even if it's not what Crockett is looking for.

Wassail! V
