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:-

"Amang the Trees - - Amang the trees, where humming bees - At buds and flowers were hinging, O, - Auld Caledon drew out her drone, - And to her pipe was singing, O. - 'Twas Pibroch, Sang, Strathpeys, and Reels, - She dirl'd them aff fu' clearly, O, - When there cam a yell o' foreign squeels, - That dang her tapsalteerie, O! 2. Their capon craws an' quer 'ha, ha's,' - - hey made our lugs grow eerie, O - The hungry bike did scrape and pike, - Till we were wae and weary, O. - But a royal ghaist, wha ance was cas'd - A prisoner aughteen year awa, - He fir'd a Fiddler in the North, - That dang them tapsalteerie, O!
