Well I listened to half a minute and didn't hear ANY song.

Just one? You jest!

This one I learned as a child (when my father was learning it) and I thought it the most utilitarian song I'd ever come across. Curses for every occasion - Nell Flaherty's Drake. But that puts me in mind of another one that he sang . . .

Too many to count but I'll offer this:

I'll wait for someone to tell it ain't "folk".

Beautiful THREE-DIMENSION SINGING of one of Scotland's finest ballads - Folk-art at its very best IMO
Roscommon Traveller, Martin McDonagh's 'Lady Margaret' (Young Hunting) hasn't made it to U-tube yet, but if you haven't got Tom Munnelly's anthology, 'Songs of the Irish Travellers', look out for it - 6 minutes 22 seconds worth of wonderful narrative singing
