Look back at the history and culture of your origin and start writing your own folk song. You can assume that you are writing an epic or simple poem since it will be the lyrics of your folk song. Your song may be accompanied with any musical instrument available or an improvised musical instrument for you to better feel the beat and melody of your own song.

Singing of some kind is almost universal, and it is probable that where there are no reports of it the information is simply missing. Folk song implies the use of music, and the musical tradition varies greatly from one area to another. In some places the words of songs are of little importance and seem to be used primarily as support for the music.
