Subject: RE: Greatest Folksong Melodies
BSeed mentioned the only really memorable 16th century one. Of the 17th century one, I like "I'll never love thee more [Scottish Chevy Chase]", Stingo, or the Oil of Barley, or Cold and Raw" and "Lilliburlero". But for the 18th century, and later, it's hard to compile a list, there are so many good ones [thanks to publication of many Scots and Irish tunes].
