Thread Name: folksongs about death
Subject: RE: looking for folksongs about death
These songs all have a death or deaths, or shipwreck, or are about dying or what might come after

Lyke wake dirge, Two Cawbies (new slain knight)The Edmund Fitzgerald No man's land, The leaves they grow green, Three score and ten, Ellen Vannen, Fiddlers Green, Hanging on the old barbed wire, Cold blows the wind, The gypsies warning (dark eyed stranger) Grandfather's clock, when cannon are roaring, How stands the glass around, Here's to the next man to die, Danny Deever, The Broom blooms bonny, Young Edwin(Lowlands low)
