Hi Michelle

You said

"I am looking for fiddle tunes from the northeastern part of the United States. Do you know any specific tunes with lyrics to be shared with elementary aged students?"

Are you looking for only 'fiddle tunes' with lyrics or tunes & songs too?

Bob McQuillen's a pianist and accordion player who aside from playing New England Contra Dance music also writes & composes dance tunes in the same style. Rodney Miller's, a fiddler is another great one who plays in this style both are fantastic & have CD's you can listen to. A fine song from the witch trials, the words were an actual transcription from the trial & set to music by Claudine Langille formerly of the group Touchstone & it's recordedon their "The New Land" lp, is 'Susanna Martin' don't know if it been rereleased as a CD. Marrgaret has plenty of CD's & any would be a fine choice for New England songs.

I think Botkin's "A Treasury of New England Folklore" may have just been reprinted.

See this tread on Irish songs of Old New England. I believe Nancy Jean, hopefully she'll see this thread,helped on this CD of Dan's (Liam's Brother) & Deb C's CD too, she's a greathgranddaughter of Helen Hartness Flanders, mentioned above.

Good luck
