    "The big ships sail up, the big ships sail down
    A great northern river
    Funnels of red, funnels of black
    Banded with yellow and silver
    Bringing in cargos of oil and wood
    Taking home girders of steel and pick iron
    Oh, coloured faces, flaxom old places
    High from the sternposts are flying
    Down on the docks, down on the wharves
    Lofty grain standing
    Stevedores working and rivermen shouting
    Crews making ready for London
    Ropes black and tarry
    Chains rusty and red
    Lay among timber and bollards and packing
    Seagulls wheel over wild river cats
    Down on the jetties are watching
    Nights by the docks, pack'd smoky pubs
    Plenty of shouting and swearing
    Heavy brown ale, thick muddy stout,
    And nobody's caring
    A lass starts to warble a popular song
    They're throwing her pennies and pieces of silver
    Closing time called, silence then falls
    On a great northern river"

      I think it's "flags from all places."

    I have an Oblivion mod where you can add song to a music box in your tent. This song is always on there. It reminds me of Solitude...if it were an actual port city.
