What are some good folk songs? I have to sing one at an audition.

I'm auditioning for a play called Ananse the Spiderman at Dallas Children's Theatre and part of the audition is singing a folk song acapella. That's good since finding the music could be hard. Anyways, what are some good recommendations? Shenandoah was something that I thought of instantly.

That Roger Miller song is actually called "King of the Road."

Hmmm....many of the songs Peter, Paul, & Mary recorded are considered folk songs:

500 Miles
If I Had A Hammer
Where Have All The Flowers Gone
Puff, The Magic Dragon
Blowin' In The Wind

I've heard Streets of London done in the folk song category of a local music festival last year. It's so pretty.

I know Rath - sadly - I have those songs on my Ipod, and I think that might actually be an oxymoron!

Constant Sorrow is a good one..as well as Cruel War. Both versions I'm thinking of are from Peter, Paul and Mary as well.
