Folk Songs
Folk Songbook
These songs represent my initial foray into making popular Folk and Gaelic lyrics available on my web site. Future songs will be listed individually. The songbook is downloadable below as a PDF file.
Fume Fume
Here is the complete rhythm and song for Fume Fume as practiced by the Orion Community Drummers and taught by Kofi Ameyaw in 2010. Please be advised that these sound files are low-quality.
Naki
This is Kofi Ameyaw singing the lyrics to Naki, a lullaby in the Ga language, during a monthly clinic for the Orion Community Drummers in 2009. This piece was popularized by Obbo Tete Adde. Please be advised that these sound files are low-quality.
Scarborough Fair
An easy tune, and the first one I've felt I could play reasonably well. The lyrics can be found below the sheet music. Enjoy!
The Gypsy Rover
My very first favorite folk song. I've known the words as long as I can remember. They're here, along with the tin whistle tune.
