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:-

"Common Sailors - - - I'm the man before the mast - That ploughs the raging sea - And on this simple subject - Will you please enlighten me - Common sailors we are called - Come tell me the reason why - And on this simple subject I'll reply - Chorus: - Don't you call us common sailors anymore - Don't you call us common sailors anymore - Good things to you we bring - Don't you call us common men - We're as good as anybody that's on shore - 2. The young girls of this country - Their growing days we bless - We brings them silks and satins - Out of which they makes a dress - To gain the heart of some young man - As fancy dresses do - Don't never despise the sailor boys - That sails the ocean blue - Chorus:
