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:- "Bonie Lesley - - O, saw ye bonie Lesley, - As she gaed o'er the Border? - She's gane, like Alexander, - To spread her conquests farther! - 2.
