Okay - Wild Mountain Thyme you are probably okay on. (unless you duplicate someone's arrangement)
Sailor Boy - your best bet is to contact the Crimson pirates - either it is something they came up with - in which case you need to talk with them - or they will know the information. Technically if it is thiers - since they recorded it you can record it as long as you pay them the mechanical copyright fee (approx 9 cents a copy)
'Black is the color' - this was collected prior to 1923 - which is the magic year for copyright here in the states. The version in the DT collected by Sharp is one. If Niles version is pre 1923 you are safe with that one - otherwise you might want to use an older arrangement or do your own.
