This collection includes more than 3700 lyrics for traditional and folk songs. Although this collection has no sheet music or midis, some of these songs are variations of those found on our songs-midis pages or guitar and mandolin tab pages so check those out first for suitable music. Songs from many genres will be found, including: bluegrass, old-time, Christian, Celtic (Irish, & Scottish), English, Welsh, Canadian, Australian, & American. Nearly all are from English speaking parts of the world, although there are a few foreign language items. The range of song subjects is huge, including: loves lost and found, bad men, good men, adventures, great events, protest & political, comedy, outlaws, in-laws, religious, inspirational, carols & hymns, etc, you name it, you will find it here. The songs are accessed by clicking on a letter on the nav-bar, A for songs beginning A etc. Where song titles began with "A" or "The" these have mostly been omitted for indexing purposes, likewise punctuation in song titles has been omitted in link names to avoid server problems. |
The versions here are not intended to represent any particular version or performance and are provided for educational purposes only. As with most traditional music, a process know as "folk processing" occurs, which can result in many different versions of songs and tunes, so you may find more than one version of a song. This collection was derived from the Digital Tradition database at Mudcat Cafe and my thanks goes to them, and all those whose work contributed to making this collection possible. The Mudcat collection consists basically of two parts - songs with lyrics and music which are in our songs with midis and tablature pages and this second part which consists of lyrics only.
