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!
