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:-

"Blow Bullies Blow - - A Yankee ship comes down the river, - Blow, boys, blow! - A Yankee ship with a Yankee skipper, - Blow, my bully boys, blow! - 2. How do you know she's a Yankee clipper; - Blow, boys, blow! - Because her masts and yards shine like silver. - Blow, my bully boys, blow! - - 3. Who do you think is captain of her? - Blow, boys, blow! - Old Holy Joe, the darky lover. - Blow, my bully boys, blow! - 4. What do you think she's got for cargo? - Blow, boys, blow! - Why, ""black sheep"" that have run the embargo. - Blow, my bully boys, blow!
