The songs sung by many folk groups tell a story

   The Trooper Cut Down - - As I was a-walking down by the Lock Hospita - Dark was the morning and cold was the day - Who should I spy but one of my comrade - Draped in a blanket and cold as the clay. - 2. Then beat the drums slowly and play the pipes lowly - Sound the dead march as we carry him along - And over his coffin throw handfuls of laurel - For he's a young trooper cut down in his prime. - - 3. O mother, o mother come sit you down by me - Sit you down by me and pity my plight - My body is injured and sadly disordered - All by a young woman my own heart's delight. - - 4. Had she but told me when she did disorder me - Had she but told me about it in tim - I might have got salts and pills of white mercury - But now I'm cut down in the height of my prime.

 
 

What has been said about Folk Groups.      

Much has been written about folk music and folk groups. Here are some quotations:-

Let not the ballad-singer’s shrilling strain, Amid the swarm thy list’ning ear detain:, Guard well thy pocket; for these sirens stand, To aid the labours of the diving hand ... ~ John Gay
