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:-

"The Miner’s Lifeguard - - A miner’s life is like a sailor's - But for a ship to cross the waves - - Every day his life in danger Still he ventures being brave - Watch the rocks they’re falling daily - Careless miners always fail - Keep your hand upon your wages - And your eye upon the scale. - Chorus: - Union miners stand together - Do not heed the owner’s tale - Keep your hand upon your wages - And your eye upon the scale. 2. You’ve been docked and docked again boys - You’ve been loading two to one - What have you to show for working? - Since your mining has begun - Worn out boots and worn out miners - Lungs of stone and children pale - Keep your hand upon your wages - And your eye upon the scale.
