''The'' is the most frequently used word in the English language; studies and analyses of texts have found it to account for seven percent of all printed English-language words. It is derived from gendered articles in Old English which combined in Middle English and now has a single form used with nouns of any gender.

This is different from many other languages, which have different forms of the definite article for different genders or numbers.

Celtic Music
Celtic music is a broad grouping of music genres that evolved out of the folk music traditions of the Celtic people of Northwestern Europe. It refers to both orally-transmitted traditional music and recorded music and the styles vary considerably to include everything from traditional music to a wide range of hybrids.

Rolling Down To Old Maui
"Rolling Down to Old Maui" (or Mohee) (Roud 2005) is a traditional sea song. It expresses the anticipation of the crew of a whaling vessel of its return to Maui after a season of whaling in the Kamchatka Sea. Origin Although the words have been found in records going back to the mid 19th century, there is some dispute about the accuracy and provenance of the melody. The words of ''Rolling Down to Old Mohee'' have been found in a copybook of a sailor called George Piper, who was on a whaling ship between 1866-1872. Similar lyrics were recorded by Joanna Colcord in her collection in 1924, where she stated that the melody had been forgotten. Other references point to a version recorded in the journal of the whaling ship ''Atkins Adams'' from 1855. The tune strongly resembles that of the popular 18th-century song " Miller of Dee" and could be derived from it. Lyrics It's a damn tough life full of toil and strife We whalermen undergo. And we don't give a damn when the day is do ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
