History is reflected in the words of folk songs sung by some of our folk bandsThe Unfortunate Miss Bailey - - A captain bold from Halifax - Once left his captain quarters, - Seduced a maid who hanged herself - One morning in her garters. - His wicked conscience smitted him, - He lost his stomach daily - He took to drinking turpentine - And thought upon Miss Bailey. - |: Oh! Miss Bailey, unfortunate Miss Bailey! :| - 2. One night while sleeping on his ship, - The captain heard a banging, - He left his bed and went on deck, - And saw Miss Bailey hanging. - His timepiece stopped at Midnight - And his candle burned quite palely. - And from the mast a ghost stepped down, - Behold it was Miss Bailey. - |: Oh! Miss Bailey, unfortunate Miss Bailey! :| - 3. Away, Miss Bailey, he implored, - You don't affright me, really, - Dear Captain Smith, the ghost replied, - You've used me ungenteely. - The coroner was hard on me, - Because I acted fraily, - The Parson would not bury me, - Though I'm a dead Miss Bailey - |: Oh! Miss Bailey, unfortunate Miss Bailey! :| |

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
