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:- "Pretty Peg - - As I gaed up by yon gate-end, - When day was waxin' weary, - Wha did I meet come down the street, - But pretty Peg, my dearie! - 2. Her air sae sweet, an' shape complete, - Wi' nae proportion wanting, - The Queen of Love did never move - Wi' motion mair enchanting. - - 3. Wi' linked hands we took the sands, - Adown yon winding river; - Oh, that sweet hour and shady bower, - Forget it shall I never!
