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:-

"Anchors Aweigh - - Stand Navy down the field, - Sails set to the sky. - We'll never change our course, - So Army you steer shy-y-y-y. - Roll up the score, Navy, - Anchors Aweigh. - Sail Navy down the field - And sink the Army, sink the Army Grey. - 2. Get underway, Navy, - Decks cleared for the fray, - We'll hoist true Navy Blue - So Army down your Grey-y-y-y. - Full speed ahead, Navy; - Army heave to, - Furl Black and Grey and Gold - And hoist the Navy, hoist the Navy Blue - - 3. Blue of the Seven Seas; - - Gold of God's great sun - Let these our colors be Till - All of time be done-n-n-ne, - By Severn shore we learn - Navy's stern call: - Faith, courage, service true - With honor over, honor over all.
