Let me turn your list into links to our threads on these songs. That may help. Some of these links, like "Pretty Polly" and "Fare Thee Well," for example, may not be the song you're singing because there are multiple songs with similar titles. I couldn't find "Fair and Tender Maiden" - it's not "Fair and Tender Ladies," is it?

As Richard says, some may have melodies or arrangements or new lyrics that are under copyright, but I think most came before 1923 and are in public domain. I suppose there are some that might have a valid copyright - but I'd be tempted to let the copyright holders prove it, since all of these songs have traditional roots. I don't know where Richard found a version of Peggy Gordon that mentions concrete. I'd like to see that one.
