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.

"Gotta Travel On" is an American #folksong. The earliest known version was printed in #CarlSandburg's #TheAmericanSongbag in 1927 under the title "Yonder Comes the High Sheriff" and several variations were recorded in the 1920s, but the best known version is credited to #PaulClayton, #TheWeavers, Larry Ehrlich, and Dave Lazer and was first recorded by #PeteSeeger in 1958. A 1958 recording by #BillyGrammer backed by the #AnitaKerr Singers reached #4 on the #USPopChart.

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

Byron’s poem ☝️ borrows from the Scottish song “The Jolly Beggar” – often attributed to King James V (who reputedly liked to disguise himself as “the Gudeman of Ballangeich” to enjoy amorous adventures)

"Spicy Girls" or ¨Spicy Girls from Hunan " ?

Talking about spices 🙂
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.
