Folk Song lyrics

Folk music is a reflection of the history of music through the ages, to modern day. Many of the great classical composers have drawn on folk tunes for inspiration for their symphonies and other great works. Similarly, the lyrics of folk songs provide a history of love, hate, politics and social change from the earliest days to the present. Hear is just one example:-

"Lord Thomas of Winesberry - . - As I look'd over the castle wall - To see what I could see, - O what should I spy but my own father's ship - |: Come sailing along the sea. :| - 2. O what is the matter, my daughter, Jane? - That you do look so wan? - I fear you have had some ill sickness, - |: Or been courting with some young man. :| - - 3. O no! I've not had an ill sickness, - Nor been courting with any young man, - But I have been sick, and sick to my heart, - |: Since you've been so long at sea. :|
