Ballads and Folk Songs

These tell of tragic incidents or great exploits, evolved from local events or legends, heroic deeds


  •  Folk songs are shorter than ballads and are also sung
  •  Lullabies are among the most enduring folk songs and are excellent resources for introducing preschoolers to traditional literature
  • Some songs are just plain nonsense and feature enjoyable language play

I Saw an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly (Judy Collins):


Ballad of Davy Crockett:



All the Pretty Little Horses (Pete Seeger):
