Not knowing Mudcat had done a thread on this, we put together our top twenty sad songs from English Trad Folk. There are lyrics too (probably from digitrad :)

see beta-site at

http://www.sarcon.demon.co.uk/frames/sad.htm

This is a frames site but the above link will work as non-frames. The home page (frames) url is

http://www.sarcon.demon.co.uk/frames/F-reset.htm

and that url requires 1208 X 728 resolution (sorry) and is beta so don't grumble if it's not all working.
