I’d prefer to download songs that have words in them, but instrumental are ok as well.

Here is the web-site where you can read the text, listen (слушать), download for free and even get karaoke versions for free: http://kakras.ru/mp3/ It’s in Russian but if you run it through the Google translator it will look like that: http://translate.google.com/translate?js=y&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&layout=1&eotf=1&u=http%3A%2F%2Fkakras.ru%2Fmp3%2F&sl=auto&tl=en

You can download Russian folk-songs here: http://musicfond.com/music/album/-/%D0%9C.%D0%93.%D0%98.%D0%AD.%D0%A2./%D0%A0%D1%83%D1%81%D1%81%D0%BA%D0%B8%D0%B5%20%D0%BD%D0%B0%D1%80%D0%BE%D0%B4%D0%BD%D1%8B%D0%B5%20%D0%BF%D0%B5%D1%81%D0%BD%D0%B8/?id=5558 But this web-site contains a lot of dodge looking advertisements – well, ignore them

i need a upbeat song but it has to be folk also.
i need a upbeat song but it still needs to be folk. im choreographing a song for little kids.

try this link: www.bharatwisdom.com/HindiFolkSongs/

U can fuse lines from various folk songs to generate vibrancy in presentation; Say, start with garba, keep increasing the tempo and end with Bhangra.

I’m looking for songs that have storyline type lyrics. By that I mean a song that tells a story.

Maybe something old from Slough Feg(?)

I’m trying to find some new sheet music for my music course and I thought I would try some Scottish or Irish music…

Look here:

Personally, I like "Danny Boy" very much.

I need to find some songs, or a song that was often played or written in colonial America. Circa 1750-1850. The song preferably needs to be a kids song. I was thinking Yankee doodle, but I can’t find what year that song was written. Some one help please!

Row, row, row your boat is English from the early 1500s.
Lavender blue is another really old one.

This Website has compiled hundreds of songs by time period and country this link is to America, scan down to the patriotic songs for yankee doodle – the notes next to the lyrics include the information about when and who wrote the song (1750): http://www.contemplator.com/america/index.html

Good luck

My best number is ‘There was a lover and his lass, with a hey nonny no and rosemary and thyme’
I follow this with ‘What shall we do with the drunken sailor? Hey nay and up she rises’
I finsih after about two hours with a comic version of ‘Old Jed is dead and so is his daughter, the both drank from the stream they knew they didn’t aughter.’

I think it’s a good idea to do that to give you practice in front of a live audience. Then when your ready hit an open mic. But think of all the joy you’ll bring to the elderly giving them something different in their monotonous nursing home life. Have fun and keep going.

and also lyrics for songs by baskov

sry for the lack of songs, everything is now popular music

I’ve heard that ‘Fenian Record Player’ and ‘Auld Orange Flute’ are both loved by both communities, but what other songs are loved by both sides of the divide?

It does depend on your definition of folk songs I suppose as that can make a difference. There are many republican and loyalist songs which could be classed under the folk genre but neither would be acceptable to the other side.

Then take an artist like Mary Black who would sit under the folk genre and all her songs would be listened to by many people irrespective of their religion. The same would go for many other artists so really all comes down to what you mean by folk songs.

The Green Fields of France is a classic folk song sung by The Fureys and is about the first World War and would be very popular. The Band played Waltzin Matilda done by the Dubliners would be similar.

So hundreds of folk songs are popular depending on what is meant by folk songs.
