Here's a great folk song, in a cracking version on the new Jim Moray album. Real universality in these words. The third verse particularly appealed to me, revenge best served cold, and all that.

The late Joe Aitken sings Adam McNaughtan’s “Yellow on the Broom” at Cromar Folk Club

When the yellow’s on the broom, when the yellow’s on the broom,
Oh, I’ll tak’ ye on the road again when the yellow’s on the broom…
—Adam McNaughtan, “Yellow on the Broom”
The song was inspired by Betsy Whyte’s 1979 autobiography THE YELLOW ON THE BROOM: The Early Days of a Traveller Woman

This song grabbed me years ago. It was from a Chinese music- concert in Vienna 's Golden Hall. While filmwise I have not left the Korean corner yet, with music I tend to listen to traditional, Classic orchestral music too.
