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:-

"Weel May the Keel Row - - As I came thro' Sandgate, - Thro' Sandgate, thro' Sandgate - As I came thro' Sandgate, - I heard a lassie sing: - Chorus: - Weel may the keel row, - The keel row, the keel row - Weel may the keel row - That my laddie's in. 2. Oh, wha's like my Johnnie, - Sae leish, sae blithe, sae bonny? - He's foremost 'mang the mony - Keel lads o' coaly Tyne. - Chorus: - 3. He'll set and row sae tightly, - Or in the dance sae sprightly - He'll cut and shuffle sightly - 'tis true - were he not mine.
