Hey, we were lucky, I guess. I never thought of any of the songs as ones we HAD to sing. The ones that I remember most are:

   Oh, I am a lonesome cowboy, all on the western plains (pretty much
    the same version as the one on the Anthology Of American Folk
    music
   A Spanish Cavalier, while on his retreat, on his guitar played a
    tune, dear
   Barnacle Bill The Sailor (with the boys singing in a very manly
    voice)
   Do ye Ken, John Peel
   Sweet Betsy From Pike
   Sante Fe Trail ( Plod along plod, on the Sante Fe Trail)
   
I thought that they were all good songs then, and I think that they
still are. They gave me a love of folk music, as just another part of my life.
