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:-

"Andrew An' His Cutty Gun - - Chorus: - Blythe, blythe, blythe was she, - Blythe was she but and ben, - An' weel she lo'ed it in her neive, - But better when it slippit in. - When a' the lave gaed tae their bed, - And I sat up to clean the shoon, - O wha think ye cam jumpin' ben - But Andrew and his cutty gun. - Chorus: - - - 2. Or e'er I wist he laid me back, - And up my gamon to my chin, - And ne'er a word to me he spak, - But liltit oot his cutty gun.
