This excellent website has all of the Stephen Foster songs, plus a selection of other American 19th c. songs. The title sheet is shown for many of them. Excellent midis.

Another source of title sheets is "Three Centuries of American Music," vol. 2, 1865-1910. G. K. Hall & Co. I don't have this volume, but the set is in larger libraries.
(Vol. 1, American Solo Songs through 1865, has excellent reproductions of original sheet music of better-known songs.

It would be an onerous task, but a committee to replace faulty and mis-leading texts in the DT with accurate lyrics and attributions would be welcome. There are a number that seemingly are based on someone's faulty memory, or a mis-heard variant of an unnamed singer.

Thanks for the many corrections and additions that you have submitted. Much appreciated.
