The Child Ballads are 305 traditional ballads from England and Scotland, and their American variants, anthologized by Francis James Child during the second half of the 19th century. Their lyrics and Child's studies of them were published as The English and Scottish Popular Ballads. The tunes of most of the ballads were collected and published by Bertrand Harris Bronson in and around the 1960s.

Harvard Scholar Francis James Child collected early ballads from manuscript sources, and attempted to identify the earliest versions. His collection and documentation's final form was published as The English and Scottish Popular Ballads. Ballads as sung in North America, while preserving many qualities of the songs as they were sung in Britain and Ireland, also introduced changes through the process of transmission from one singer to another. In some cases the British ballads were made more American as the singers recalled them. A two page song sheet with the lyrics of several songs includes a related ballad from the British point of view on the American Revolution titled "General Gage. Instead of boasting victory, this song laments defeat, but in other ways the song parallels "Britania's Disgrace.

Traditional folk songs generally come from a culture that no longer exists, but they are still interesting. They allow us to glimpse a time that has passed but that may still influence us. The traditional songs that I've chosen for this article are four of my personal favourites. The definition of "folk song" is somewhat nebulous. It's generally agreed that it's one enjoyed and sung by the common people, or the folk, that live in a particular area. Folk songs of the past were generally transmitted orally  . I still recall some of the folk songs I was taught as a child. They are usually clever in some respect and that's probably why they've stuck in my own memory for so long.
