Subject: RE: Greatest Folksong Melodies
A lot of great songs in this list so far, but mostly English, Irish, Scottish. Why no blues?

I have just a few that I can think of at the moment:

"Streets of laredo"
"O' Glory" (Rev. Gary Davis)
"Green Green Rocky Road" (Dave Van Ronk, from Len Chandler & Bob kaufman)
"Turkey in the Straw"
"Tom Dooley" (Doc Watson)
