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:-

"Admiral Benbow - - Come all ye seamen bold, - And draw near, and draw near - Come all ye seamen bold, - And draw near - It is of an admiral's fame - O brave Benbow was his name - How he fought all on the main - You shall hear, you shall hear. - 2. Brave Benbow he set sail, - For to fight, for to fight - Brave Benbow he set sail, - For to fight. - Brave Benbow he set sail, - With a fine and pleasant gale - But his captains they turn'd tail - In a fright, in a fright. - - 3. Says Kirby unto Wade, - - ""We will run, we will run."" - Says Kirby unto Wade, - ""We will run. - For I value no disgrace - Or the losing of my place - But the enemy I won't face - Nor his guns, nor his guns.""
