Thread Name: Looking for Farm Songs
Subject: Looking for Farm Songs
Over the years I have been collecting songs & singing songs about farms, farming, gardening, rural living and farmers markets. My buddy and I are putting together a set of songs to sing and play at our local farmers market in Emmaus, PA. I am sure a number of you mudcatters are aware of some great farm songs and I would love to hear about your favorites. Some of the farm songs I love to sing are as follows...

Field Behind the Plow - Stan Rogers
Houses in the Fields - John Gorka
Cows - John Gorka
Canned Goods - Greg Brown
People of the Fields and Farms - Clay Riness
Combine Boogie - Clay Riness
Oozy Farm Creek - Clay Riness
Grandma's Penny Sale - Larry Long
The People are Scratching - Pete Seeger
Pastures of Plenty - Woody Guthrie
The Garden Song - David Mallett

Any additional suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Jeff

P.S. I used to be "Hyla" in a former mudcat life and would be interested in hearing from some of my old mudcat friends. Hi to WYSIWIG, Margaret V and Dharmabum if you are still out there! I now live a small farm in Berks County, PA.
