History is reflected in the words of folk songs sung by some of our folk bands

   Proud Sally - - A sailor from Dover, from Dover he came - He courted lovely Sally and Sally was her name; - But still she walked so lofty and her fortune was so high, - That she on a sailor would scarce cast an eye. - 2. A few months being over and a few months being past, - This fair she began to grow sick at the last - She grew sick at the last and she couldn't tell for why - And she sent for the sailor that she oftimes did deny. - - 3. "Am I the doctor, that you sent for me? - Or am I the young man that you sent for me"? - "Oh yes, you're the doctor, you can either kill or cure, - The pain that I feel, dear, is hard to endure." - - 4. "Where does the pain lie, does it lie in your head? - Or where does the pain lie, does it lie in your side"? - "Oh indeed, young man, you're not far off the guess - The pain that I feel lies under my left breast."

 
 

Quotations about Folk Bands.      

Quotations about folk bands and their instruments crop up throughout literature. Here are some quotations:-

The fashion for popular airs has spread quickly throughout the musical world. From east to west the tiniest villages have been ransacked, and simple tunes, plucked from the mouths of hoary peasants, find themselves, to their consternation, trimmed with harmonic frills.~ Debussy
