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:- "The Protecting Brewer - - A Brewer may be a Burgess grave, - And carry the matter so fine and so brave, - That he the better may play the Knave, - Which no body can deny. - A Brewer may be a Parliament-man, - For there the Knavery first began, - And brew most cunning plots he can, - Which no body can deny. - 2. A brewer may put on a Nabal face, - And march to the Wars with such a grace, - That he may get a Captains place, - Which no body can deny. - A Brewer may speak so Wonderous well, - That he may raise strange things to tell, - And so to be made a Collonel, - Which no body can deny. - - 3. A Brewer may make his foes to flee, - And raise his Fortunes, so that he, - Lieutenant-General may be, - Which no body can deny. - A Brewer he may be all in all, - And raise his Powers both great and small, - That he may be a Lord General, - Which no body can deny.
