Do sports teams count? I'm not sure what constitutes a "folk song" but if it is one written by regular folk which gets a lot of singing time, there are lots of rugby songs... the women's rugby team at Hamilton College sings this one at the beginning of every game - I hope this fits the assignment:
(to the tune of America, the Beautiful - at least I think that is the name of the song that begins "O Beautiful, for spacious skies, for amber waves of grain...")
"Oh rugby gods, it's time to play/
to you we now do pray/
for beers to numb/
the pain to come/
for men* that we shall lay/
oh rugby gods, oh rugby gods/
please grant this one request/
to cream this team/
for we have seen/
BLUE RUGBY IS THE BEST"
* or "chicks" given one's preference...

Ha, the other songs seem so pretty... of course I step up and post the bawdy one. Just helping to diversify the content...
Oh, don't worry. The Bawdy ones are comin. I'm trying to pick one that I recorded yesterday to post here. So many choices!
And hey, bawdy songs make me laugh.
