Folk Bands have a huge repertoire of traditional songs to choose from, such as:

Proud Sally - - A sailor from Dover, from Dover he came - He courted lovely Sally and Sally was her name; - But still she walked so lofty and her fortune was so high, - That she on a sailor would scarce cast an eye. - 2. A few months being over and a few months being past, - This fair she began to grow sick at the last - She grew sick at the last and she couldn't tell for why - And she sent for the sailor that she oftimes did deny. - - 3. "Am I the doctor, that you sent for me? - Or am I the young man that you sent for me"? - "Oh yes, you're the doctor, you can either kill or cure, - The pain that I feel, dear, is hard to endure." - - 4. "Where does the pain lie, does it lie in your head? - Or where does the pain lie, does it lie in your side"? - "Oh indeed, young man, you're not far off the guess - The pain that I feel lies under my left breast."
