History is reflected in the words of many songs of many folk groups

Weel May the Keel Row - - As I came thro' Sandgate, - Thro' Sandgate, thro' Sandgate - As I came thro' Sandgate, - I heard a lassie sing: - Chorus: - Weel may the keel row, - The keel row, the keel row - Weel may the keel row - That my laddie's in. 2. Oh, wha's like my Johnnie, - Sae leish, sae blithe, sae bonny? - He's foremost 'mang the mony - Keel lads o' coaly Tyne. - Chorus: - 3. He'll set and row sae tightly, - Or in the dance sae sprightly - He'll cut and shuffle sightly - 'tis true - were he not mine.

What has been said about Folk Groups.

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

To handle folk tunes is one of the most difficult tasks; equally difficult, if not more so than to write a major original composition. If we keep in mind that borrowing a tune means being bound by its individual peculiarity, we shall understand one part of the difficulty. Another is created by the special character of folk tune. We must penetrate into it, feel it and bring out its sharp contours by the appropriate setting.~ Bela Bartok
