Get Away, Jordan - Take 6

Are you after "holy land" titles only, or did you want to open up to
"Back in the U.S.S.R." and "China Girl" type references?

Check out Eric Riback's List of Geography Songs at
http://www.mapville.com/riback/places.htm. Although there are no lyrics at
this site, there is a long list of song titles pertaining to the following
categories:

- Songs about Countries, Continents, Provinces and Regions
- Songs about U.S. States or Regions
- Songs about Cities and Places
- Songs about Streets or Roads
- Songs about Natural Features & Islands
- Other Musical Geographical References

Also, if you want to find song titles for a specific country, try using the
search pages at ASCAP, BMI and NMPA.

http://www.ascap.com/ace/ACE.html
http://bmi.com/repertoire/database.html
http://www.nmpa.org/search_form.html

Just enter the country name and it will give you a long list of song titles
that include that name.

"Austria" is one of them. Also "Greenland" and "Russia."
Those are the only ones I find in the index of the Episcopal Hymnal 1982
mentioning _countries_. There are many, many hymn tunes named after cities
("Moscow") or areas ("Yorkshire" or "England's Lane").
