"Spanish Ladies" is a traditional British naval song, and it's the story of British navy men sailing north from Spain and along the English Channel. The crew are unable to determine their latitude by sighting as the distance between Ushant to the south and the Scillies to the north is wide. Instead, they locate themselves by the depth and the sandy bottom they have sounded.
Several variants exist with the same melody but substitute with different lyrics. The one that sung in Jaws (Steven Spielberg) reset the destination from England to Boston. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tOSPplqluxQ)
"...Farewell and adieu to you, Spanish ladies,
Farewell and adieu to you, ladies of Spain;
For we have received orders
For to sail to old England,
But we hope in a short time to see you again.
We'll rant and we'll roar, like true British sailors,
We'll rant and we'll roar across the salt seas;
Until we strike soundings
In the Channel of old England,
From Ushant to Scilly 'tis thirty-five leagues..."
