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:-

"Arthur and Molly - - As noble Sir Arthur one morning did ride, - With his hounds at his feet, and his sword by his side, - He saw a fair maid sitting under a tree, - He asked her name, and she said 'twas Mollee. - 2. Oh, charming Mollee, you my butler shall be, - To draw the red wine for yourself and for me! - I'll make you a lady so high in degree, - If you will but love me, my charming Mollee! - - 3. I'll give you fine ribbons, I'll give you fine rings, - I'll give you fine jewels, and many fine things; - I'll give you a petticoat flounced to the knee, - If you will but love me, my charming Mollee!
