chickenfeetOK that was a slightly weird play list. It would be a bit more varied but for the first line is the title issue. In terms of getting stuff right I declare <lj user="sabotabby"> to be the winner with six correct answers. This means her taste is similar to mine and she is therefore doomed.
I haven't attributed performers to any of the songs because most of them exist in a squillion versions. In this case it's a safe bet that the performers are one of Dick Gaughan, Billy Bragg, Phl Ochs, June Tabor and the Oyster Band or Waterson-Carthy. Come to think of it, I've seen all of them live except Phil Ochs.
1. In 1649, to St. George's Hill - The World Turned Upside Down
2. As I walked out one May morning, one May morning so early (good luck with that!) - May Morning (no kidding)
3. Stand up for victims of oppression for the tyrants fear your might - The Internationale (Billy Bragg version which fails to contain the line "So at last ends the age of Kant" so beloved of analytical philosophers.)
4. Someday boy you'll reap what you sow - Valentine's Day is Over
5. As I walked out one day, one day, I met an aged man by the way - Death and the Maiden
6. As it fell out upon one day - Dives and Lazarus
7. Come all of you workers who toil night and day - Worker's Song
8. What costume shall a poor girl wear? - All Tomorrow's Parties
9. Show me a prison, show me a jail - There But for Fortune
10. There lived a maid in Scotland . All my love. All my love. - Bonny Susie Clelland
11. As I walked down by the riverside one evening in the spring - Lullaby of London
12. Down by a crystal spring where the nightingales sing - Crystal Spring
13. Oh I marched to the battle of New Orleans at the start of the early British war - I Ain't Marching Anymore
14. What's the spring-breathing jasmine and rose ? What's the summer with all its gay train - Both Sides the Tweed
15. He walked all over his own growing land from the New York island to the California sound - Bound for Glory
16. Ragged rose I'll cease to ride. A thousand days I've laid aside - Pain or Paradise
17. I cried when they shot Medgar Evers, tears ran down my spine. I cried when they shot Mr. Kennedy - Love Me, I'm a Liberal - are you listening Mr. Clegg?
18. And the flag draped coffins are sailing home - Song of a Soldier
19. My name is Duncan Campbell from the shire of Argyll - Erin go Brach
20. It being in spring and the small birds they were singing. Down by a shady arbour I carelessly did stray - Craigie Hill
