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:-

"A Long Time Ago - - A long, long time, and a long time ago, - To me way, hay, o-hio! - A long, long time, and a long time ago, - A long time ago! - 2. A smart Yankee packet lay out in the bay, - To me way, hay, o-hio! - Awaiting for a fair wind to get under way, - A long time ago! - - 3. With all her poor sailors sick and all sad, - To me way, hay, o-hio! - For they'd drunk all their whiskey, no more could be had, - A long time ago! - - 4. She was waiting for a fair wind to get under way, - To me way, hay, o-hio! - If she hasn't had a fair wind she's lying there still. - A long time ago!
