I’m looking for some great songs that I might be able to play on the violin! I’m kind of a beginner.
I was thinking of playing something like "Take Me Home Country Roads" by John Denver.
Is that a difficult song to play? Where can I get the violin sheet music?
"Take Me Home Country Roads" is a good choice for a beginner and not very difficult.
Here’s a link to the sheet music:

I think most importantly, your choice of folk songs should reflect what you like. Nobody wants to play a song that they dislike.
Here’s some well know folk songs you might consider:
This Land is Your Land
She’ll Be Comin’ Round The Mountain
The Wabash Cannonball
Red River Valley
The Yellow Rose of Texas
Home on the Range
Poor Wayfaring Stranger
Buffalo Gals
Little Liza Jane
Leaving on a Jet Plane
Turkey in the Straw
Take a look at Stephen Foster, Peter, Paul & Mary, Bob Dylan, John Denver and other folk artists to find some songs that you can play on the violin. Your friends and family will be able to recognize these familiar songs.
Good Luck!
