   Probably the best known song from the Radio Ballads series. This is from   
   Singing the Fishing (1959). Within a few years of having been written it   
   had become a staple in the repertoires of groups like the Spinners,   
   Clancy Brothers and Corries and thence into the repertoires of every   
   floor singer in the British Isles. There are people now who have never   
   heard of Ewan MacColl who swear it's a traditional song they learned   
   from their grandparents. In Ireland, it has even metamorphosed into "The   
   Shores of Erin".
