Hi, Ariel - I looked around a bit, and didn't find anything better than what we have right here. If you put Paxton in the search box in the upper-right corner of this page, I think you'll come up with 39 songs. Heck, at that rate, we could almost be a Tom Paxton songbook. Don't know if you'll find chords for many songs here. We don't usually include chords in the database. If there are any you want chords for, post a message in this thread, and we'll try to help.
Click here for a little biographical information and here for more.
Here's a little trivia, which may or not be tue: I believe I heard that Paxton was once roommates with Noel Paul Stookey (of Peter, Paul & Mary) - before they got famous.

Ariel,

Type in Paxton in the DT search engine in the upper-right-hand corner. The DT has 39 Paxton songs. Many here will help you with chords if you ask.

Thanks for your request. I see the DT has Talking Vietnam Potluck an old favorite from my days serving Uncle Sam.

Another bit of Trivia...Tom Paxton (my patron saint) also auditioned for the Chad Mitchell Trio in the early 60"s. When he didn't make it he just kept writing wonderful songs for them. I can't think of a single CMT album that didn't have at least one of his songs and usually quite a few more.

I heard Sandy Paton sing an old song called "deep Fork" a couple of years ago. Thought it might be trad. or possibly a Jean Ritchie tune. Found out it was early Paxton. Great song
