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:-

'Twas on the quarter-deck they laid him, - Gagged him with an iron bar; - Wasn't that most cruel usage - To put upon a British tar? - Chorus: - - 3. 'Twas up aloft the Captain sent him - Naked beneath the burning sun, - Whilst the mate did follow after, - Lashing him till the blood did run. - Chorus:
