GUEST,EKanne Lyr Req: Ideas for more folk songs for me to try? (19) RE: Lyr Req: Ideas for more folk songs for me to try? 27 Feb 14


How about 'The Blacksmith' ("A blacksmith courted me, nine months or better"); or any of the many versions of 'I Wish, I Wish, I Wish in Vain'; or the lovely American songs 'Come All Ye Fair and Tender Ladies' and 'Black is the Colour of My True Love's Hair'?

And you might also want to think about adding some chorus songs, so that others can add to the lovely noise.

But please try to do as Jim says -- listen to the singers, understand what the song is about, and then sing in your own voice.
