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 Hundred Years Ago - - A hundred years is a very long time, - Oh yes, oh, - A hundred years is a very long time - A hundred years ago. - 2. They used to think that pigs could fly - Oh yes, oh, - I don't believe it no, not I - A hundred years ago. - - 3. They thought the moon was made of cheese - Oh yes, oh, - You can believe it, if you please - A hundred years ago. - - 4. They thought the stars was set alight - Oh yes, oh,By some good angel every night - A hundred years ago.
