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:-

"All For Me Grog - - Chorus: - Well it's all for me grog, me jolly jolly grog, - It's all for me beer and tobacco. - For I spent all me tin on the lassies drinking gin, - Far across the western ocean I must wander. - Where are me boots, me noggin', noggin' boots, - They're all gone for beer and tobacco. - For the heels they are worn out and the toes are kicked about - And the soles are looking out for better weather. - Chorus: - - 2. Where is me shirt, me noggin', noggin' shirt, - It's all gone for beer and tobacco, - For the collar is all worn, and the sleeves they are all torn, - And the tail is looking out for better weather.
