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

   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.

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
