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:- "The Maid of Tottenham - - As I came down from Tottenham - Upon a market day - - Twas there I spied a bonny lass - Her clothing was so gay - Her journey was to London - With buttermilk and whey - So we both jogged on together, my boys - Sing fal the dal diddle al day. - 2. God speed fair maid, says I to her - You are well overtook - At that she cast her head aside - And gave to me a look - That was as full of lechery - As letters in a book - And we both jogged on together, my boys - Sing fal the dal diddle al day. - - 3. And as we walked along the road - Together side by side - This pretty maid of Tottenham - Her garter came untied - For fear that she might lose it - Look out sweetheart, I cried - Your garter's coming down my love - Sing fal the dal diddle al day.
