Folk groups - song lyricsDrake's Drum - - Drake he's in his hammock and a thousand miles away, - Captain, art thou sleeping there below? - Slung atween the round shot in Nombre Dios Bay, - And dreaming all the time of Plymouth Hoe. - Yonder looms the Island, yonder lie the ships, - With sailor-lads a-dancing heel-an'-toe, - And the shore-lights flashing, and the night-tide dashing, - He sees it all so plainly as he saw it long ago. - Drake he was a Devon man, an' ruled the Devon seas, - Captain, art thou sleeping there below? - Roving tho' his death fell, he went with heart at ease, - And dreaming all the time of Plymouth Hoe. - "Take my drum to England, hang it by the shore, - Strike it when your powder's running low; - If the Dons sight Devon, I'll quit the port o' Heaven, - And drum them up the Channel as we drummed them long ago." |
Quotations about Folk Groups.
Quotations about folk groups and their instruments crop up throughout literature. Here are some quotations:-
A certain Music, never known before, Here soothed the pensive melancholy Mind; The God of Winds drew Sounds of deep Delight: Whence, with just Cause, The Harp of Aeolus it Light. Ah me! what hand can touch the strings so fine? Who up the lofty Diapason roll, Such sweet, such sad, such solemn Airs divine, Then let them down again into the Soul? ~ James Thomson
