                 The Work folk song is a piece of folk music connected closely to a specific work. The work folk song could be sung at the time of work or at other time. E. Gioia (2006, Work Songs) states that work songs are as old as the human societies. Gioia divided agrarian and pastorals songs into following classes that had been altered by this author as division of work folk songs-

1-Hunting folk songs

2-Cultivation folk songs

3-Herding folk songs

4-Modern industrial folk songs for seaman, factory workers, cowboys, mine workers etc.

 The following Garhwali folk song is about paddy plantation.

Women are busy in transplanting paddy. A flute tune is heard by women.

A woman asks another woman – What is there in flute tone?

The other woman tells that my husband is sending message for you.

O Paddy planters! Do plantation correctly.

The Basmati plants should be planted densely.

Since you are my sister in law (younger brother’s wife) I can’t tell you directly by do perfect transplantation.

The white mark header buffalo delivered the child.

You come to cowshed.

My husband sent message to bring ten tons grass (pindo) for buffalo and cows.

The Surajkunwar cow also delivered child.
