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:-

"Died For Love - - A bold young farmer courted me - He gained my heart and my liberty - He gained my heart with a free good will - And I must confess that I love him still. - 2. I wish, I wish, but it's all in vain - I wish I was a maid again - But a maid again, that never can be - Since that young farmer lay still with me. - - 3. I wish my baby little was born - And smiling on his daddy's knee - And I poor girl was in my grave - With the long green grass a-growing all over me
