Folk songs tell a story

   The Holy Ground - - Adieu my fair young maidens, - A thousand times adieu - We must bid goodbye to the Holy Ground, - The place that we love true - We will sail the salt seas over - And return again for sure - To seek the girls that wait for us, - In the Holy Ground once more. - Refrain: - Fine girl you are, - You're the girl that I do adore, - And still I live in hope to see, - The Holy ground once more - Fine girl you are! - 2. We're on the salt sea sailing - And you are safe behind - Fond letters I will write to you, - The secrets of my mind - Fond letters I will write to you, - The girl I do adore - And still I live in hope to see, - The Holy ground once more.

 
 

What has been said about Scottish Folk Bands.      

Quotations about scottish folk bands and their instruments crop up throughout literature. Here are some quotations:-

There are in the music of the violin ... accents so closely akin to those ofcertain contralto voices that one has the illusion that a singer has taken her place amid the orchestra. One raises one’s eyes, and sees only the wooden case, delicate as a Chinese box, but at moments, one is still tricked by the Siren’s deceiving call; at times too, one thinks one is listening to a captive genie struggling in the darkness of the sapient, quivering and enchanted box, like a devil immersed in a stoup of holy water; sometimes, again, it is in the air, at large, like a pure and supernatural being that unfolds its invisible message as it goes by. Marcel Proust
