Many of the great classical composers have drawn on folk tunes for inspiration for their symphonies and other great works. Similarly, the lyrics of folk songs provide a history of love, hate, politics and social change from the earliest days to the present. Hear is just one example:- "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.
