I have _such_ a hard time remembering the lyrics to verse seven of Duelling Banjos.


It's surely going to vary depending where in the world you live...

I have to say I have a bit of an aversion to the "well known" songs - a simple way to find them is to take a look at the folk song books most music stores sell.

I've just had a skip through the Digital Tradtion (available not a million clicks from here and worth grabbing a copy of (tho' the tune examples are generally go at a snail's pace but good for learning)) and come up with the following titles that I recognise - not entirely sure how 'folk' they all are - not all have tunes available in the DT and there's, oo, 8948 other titles many of which also 'fit the bill'.
[FX: gasps for breath]
A fair few are still under copyright.
