| | Song - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Folk songs are songs of often anonymous origin (or are public domain) that are transmitted orally. | | | Popular songs are songs which may be considered in between art songs and folk songs. | | | Folk songs are also frequently transmitted non-orally (that is, as sheet music), especially in the modern era. |

| | Music in the SCA: A Case Study of Folk Song |
| | The total number of songs in the corpus is 263, comprising 165 general folk songs and 98 SCA folk songs. | | | The songs are sung by and for the very folk who took part in those experiences, and the songs are seen by those folk as a very valuable and organic part of the community. | | | Changes to SCA folk song texts are common, and these changes are applied nearly as often to traditional folk songs as to SCA folk songs. |

| | Some folk songs go with folk dances or children's games, such as ``Farmer in the Dell.'' The lullabies that mothers sing to their babies are folk songs, too. | | | When you sing ``I've Been Working on the Railroad,'' you are singing a folk song. | | | All countries have traditional folk songs that many people (``folk' ') sing at work, on special occasions, or just for fun. |

| | What is a "Folk" Song? |
| | I don’t sing folk songs because I think they’re holy or noble or anything; each one of the songs I sing,"folk" or not, is, to me, a wonderful song, for one or more reasons. | | | Someone may have written a song to start, but that wasn’t really a folk song; it is the cumulative effect of all the changes on the song as it travels from person to person that make it a "folk" song. | | | A folk song is a song that has evolved through the oral process. |
