My favorite nostalgic song is Long, Long Ago. I learned it in fifth grade, and there's something about it that never lets me grow tired of it.

I'm also partial to Old Black Joe, although I recognize that the lyrics make some people uneasy.

Joe Hill is another one that speaks to me, as are Going Home (Dvorak) and The Holy City (Jerusalem).

Actually, anything I can picture Paul Robeson singing, makes me nostalgic. I don't think Robeson recorded all of these, but I can certainly imagine him singing all of them. For me, Robeson has always been a symbol of what's right with the world, and how the whole world should be.
