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:-

"Phillis The Queen O' The Fair - - Adown winding Nith I did wander, - To mark the sweet flowers as they spring; - Adown winding Nith I did wander, - Of Phillis to muse and to sing. - Chorus - Awa' wi' your belles and your beauties, - They never wi' her can compare, - Whaever has met wi' my Phillis, - Has met wi' the queen o' the fair. - 2. The daisy amus'd my fond fancy, - So artless, so simple, so wild; - Thou emblem, said I, o' my Phillis - For she is Simplicity's child. - Chorus: - - 3. The rose-bud's the blush o' my charmer, - Her sweet balmy lip when 'tis prest: - How fair and how pure is the lily! - But fairer and purer her breast.
