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:-

"Rocking the Cradle - - As I roved out on a fine summer's morning - Down by a clear river I walked all alone. - I heard a poor man making sad lamentation - And thus he began to make his sad moan. - Chorus: - It makes me cry, hush-a-bye baby lie easy - For perhaps your own daddy will never be known. - Though I'm not your daddy, my wife is your mammy - I'm nursing a child that is none of my own. - 2. It's every day she walks with her bully, - And leaves me the cradle to rock all alone. - This innocent babe, he calls me his daddy, - It's little he knows that he's none of my own. - Chorus:
