Folk Song's Fascinating Words

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:-

"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!
