"Goodbye My Lover" sung by Ian Bell and Friends. The fiddle tune is "Jackie Tar" - sometimes called "The Original Sailors' Hornpipe".
Experienced sailors loved to make fun of the "landsmen" who would work on the lakes during the summer months. This is a capstan chantey. There are plenty of saltwater versions of this song as well.
