I'm looking for websites that have American folk song and pop songs from the
20's and 30's lyrics. I'm putting together lyric sheets for nursing phome
performances. And I don't look forward to retyping from SongOut! songbook, old
Folksing book, etc. There has to be an easier way. The time I save not typing I
could use playing music. Any help anyone?

A site that concentrates of these? (40's & 50's I think) Maybe "Campfire
Song Book" (S Afr Scouting) at http://www.scouting.org.za/songs/title.html

or Kididdles http://www.kididdles.com/mouseum/alpha.html has a good
selection of "family" songs.

Or if you want to browse by title, try the older mirror of Digital
Tradition Folk Music Database http://sniff.numachi.com/~rickheit/dtrad/

Or do a Google search on the song title. (I think using " " helps)

I don't know any online digital collection of "family" songs from the 20's
& 30's. There are a number of sites that use graphic reproductions -
Library of Congress, especially, but that won't help you so much.

Please consider a few good songs involving sex, death, mayhem, political
protest, etc. Your listeners may be old but not necessarily feeble.

The site below, which contains a vast number of links, may of use to you.
Not all links are still current, but many are.
