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 Life on the Ocean Wave - - A life on the ocean wave, - A-home on the rolling deep! - Where the scater'd waters rave, - And the winds their revels keep - Like an eagle caged I pine - On this dull, unchanging shore. - Oh give me the flashing brine, - The spray and the tempest's roar. - Refrain: - A life on the ocean wave, - A-home on the rolling deep! - Where the scater'd waters rave - And the winds their revels keep, - |: The winds,..... the winds... - The winds their revels...keep. :| 2. Once more on the deck I stand, - Of my own swift, gliding craft. - Set sail, farewell to land, - The gale follows fair abaft. - We shoot thro' the sparkling foam, - Like an ocean bird set free. - Like the ocean bird, our home, - We'll find far out on the sea.
