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:-

"My Eppie Adair - - Chorus: - An' O my Eppie, my jewel, my Eppie, - Wha wad na be happy wi' Eppie Adair? - By love, and by beauty, by law, and by duty, - I swear to be true to my Eppie Adair! - By love, and by beauty, by law, and by duty, - I swear to be true to my Eppie Adair! - Chorus: - - 2. A' pleasure exile me, dishonour defile me, - If e'er I beguile ye, my Eppie Adair! - A' pleasure exile me, dishonour defile me, - If e'er I beguile thee, my Eppie Adair!
