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:-

"Death and the Lady - - As I walked out one morning in May - The birds did sing and the lambs did play - The birds did sing and the lambs did play - I met an old man, I met an old man - I met an old man by the way. - 2. His head was bald, his beard was grey - His coat was of a myrtle shade - I asked him what strange countryman - Or what strange place, or what strange place - Or what strange place he did belong. - - 3. ""My name is Death, cannot you see? - Lords, dukes, and ladies bow down to me - And you are one of those branches three - And you fair maid, and you fair maid, - And you fair maid must come with me"".
