Subject: RE: Best 'city songs?'
Up to the Rigs of London Town is a good one about the naive outsider putting one over on the city types

Mountains of Mourne - not really a folksong but a good one about the country boy looking at the city.

The Rocky Road to Dublin tells about a country lad being stolen from in Dublin and set about by yobs in Liverpool.

Ralph McTell's Streets of London - great song about down and outs in London.
