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:-

"Proud Sally - - A sailor from Dover, from Dover he came - He courted lovely Sally and Sally was her name; - But still she walked so lofty and her fortune was so high, - That she on a sailor would scarce cast an eye. - 2. A few months being over and a few months being past, - This fair she began to grow sick at the last - She grew sick at the last and she couldn't tell for why - And she sent for the sailor that she oftimes did deny. - - 3. ""Am I the doctor, that you sent for me? - Or am I the young man that you sent for me""? - ""Oh yes, you're the doctor, you can either kill or cure, - The pain that I feel, dear, is hard to endure."" - - 4. ""Where does the pain lie, does it lie in your head? - Or where does the pain lie, does it lie in your side""? - ""Oh indeed, young man, you're not far off the guess - The pain that I feel lies under my left breast.""
