Adding to those listed earlier here, here are 46 more titles:

Youth Songs: Pocket Folk Song Library Unit 21

Some of these look like repeat titles, but that is where it gets complex. The Pagoda: Thirteen Chinese Songs, was listed earlier, but there is both that and The Pagoda: Twenty-Five Chinese Songs, Fifth Edition.

Many of the titles came out in different editions with different songs. There was a Joyful Singing, for example, probably around 1940 (I'm guessing), with 108 songs. The 6th edition, 1962 had 116 songs, most of them different from the early edition; and there was a Joyful Singing, Campfire Girls Edition (1950's?) with 105 songs.

While some of the books are repeats or reshufflings of songs found in other of the titles, others really stand alone as reference works.   Guiana Sings, 1959, by Vesta Lowe, for example: 97 folk songs, about half Guyanese, the other from many other countries, inc. translations. Miss Lowe was a rural 4-H club Youth Instructor and notable folk song collector in the 1920's and 30's. According to Dr Vibert C. Cambridge, "Vesta Lowe was a pioneer in the preservation of Guyanese folk songs ... she must be accorded the respect that has been given to the world's great song catchers like Jesse Fewkes, Bela Bartok, Edvard Grieg, Percy Grainger, and Alice Fletcher..."
