A minor Ballydesmond Polka Clinch Mountain Backstep (some variants) Cluck, Old Hen Cold, Frosty, Morn Elzic's Farewell Got a Little Home to Go To (some variants) Ginny, Comb Your Hair Greasy Coat Kitchen Girl (partly A major, partly A minor) Red-Haired Boy Salt River Salty Dog Santa Ana's Retreat (partly A major, partly A minor)
C minor Marquis of Huntley
D minor Gone to Kansas John Barleycorn Julia Delaney Old Bangum Pa Janvier Sally in the Garden
E minor All the Pretty Little Horses Cuckoo Hunting for the Buffalo (some variants) Riding on a Load of Hay Rights of Man Scarborough Fair Scollay's Ships Are Sailing
G major in first part, mostly E minor in second part Big Scioty Blackberry Blossom Flowers of Edinburgh Jimmy in the Swamp Midnight on the Water Seneca Square Dance
