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:- "Weel May the Keel Row - - As I came thro' Sandgate, - Thro' Sandgate, thro' Sandgate - As I came thro' Sandgate, - I heard a lassie sing: - Chorus: - Weel may the keel row, - The keel row, the keel row - Weel may the keel row - That my laddie's in. 2. Oh, wha's like my Johnnie, - Sae leish, sae blithe, sae bonny? - He's foremost 'mang the mony - Keel lads o' coaly Tyne. - Chorus: - 3. He'll set and row sae tightly, - Or in the dance sae sprightly - He'll cut and shuffle sightly - 'tis true - were he not mine.
