I've always loved this one. My father used to always hum this to my sister and me when I was little.

This was originally a Chinese Fishermans Song adapted in thr late 19th Century to be about Bonnie Prince Charlie!

Its a"dan song" (boat dweller song) with "yushi diao" (fisherman lyrics about "xianshui ge" the salt water in Guangdong and Fujian provinces!

Not many people know that...
