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:- "Lord Thomas of Winesberry - . - As I look'd over the castle wall - To see what I could see, - O what should I spy but my own father's ship - |: Come sailing along the sea. :| - 2. O what is the matter, my daughter, Jane? - That you do look so wan? - I fear you have had some ill sickness, - |: Or been courting with some young man. :| - - 3. O no! I've not had an ill sickness, - Nor been courting with any young man, - But I have been sick, and sick to my heart, - |: Since you've been so long at sea. :| CLICK HERE [About Ceilidh Bands] [Ensembles in Essex wedding music repertoire] [About Essex] [About music in Essex] [About Wedding Venues] [About Wedding Ceremonies registrars, ministers and music] [About other kinds of music such as jazz or folk] [Frequently Asked Questions FAQs] [Ensembles1] [Ensembles2] [Ensembles3] [Ensembles4] [Links] [Home Page] | | |
