Thread Name: Ten representative English folk songs?
Subject: RE: Ten representative English folk songs?
The Foggy Dew (not the Irish rebel thing, the good one)
The North Country Maid
The Banks of Sweet Mossom
All For Me Grog
Dido, Bendigo (gets my vote as the best hunting song apart from)
The Innocent Hare
Lady Franklin's Lament
Brave Benbow
The Poacher's Fate
The Banks of Sweet Primroses
The Two Brethren - which must be the most stirring and evocative farming/seasonal song I've heard.
Bugger, that't eleven.
