"DARK EYED MOLLY", by Archie Fisher.
"LIES", and "THE HOUSE OF ORANGE", by Stan Rogers.
"CAPE BRETON LULLABY", by Kenneth Leslie.
"A SCARBOROUGH SETTLER'S LAMENT", by Sandy Glendinning.
"Wo Sind Die Elefanten?', by Leon Rosselson.
"THE COVENTRY CAROL", " "THE HOLLY AND THE IVY", and "GABRIEL'S MESSAGE", by that prolific author, Trad Anonymous.

Any number of songs by the Beatles.

That song about Vincent Van Gogh by Don McLean. ["VINCENT (STARRY STARRY NIGHT)"]

Yes, CIRCLE GAME, by Joni Mitchell, as well as that one about going down to the Mermaid Tavern and buying a bottle of wine [CAREY]. Not a stellar song perhaps, but one I like.

I'm sure I could think of dozens more if I sat here long enough.
