Hey Hey Hey Hello!
I just wanted to ask for a little advice. I'm auditioning for this fun Murder Mystery show with the WhoDunnt Murder Mystery Theater here in louisville called "Murder by the Sea: The Dark Veil Mystery and there is a part in the audition where you get to sing. They're asking for everyone to be prepared to sing "Greensleeves" or a song along the lines of a folk-ballad mode. Now don't get me wrong, i shall bow my head to the classic but i just don't like singing Greensleeves, haha. SO!!

Whats another great Folkie song that would be appropriate?

here's the website so you can get a feel as to what the show is about :D

Drunken Sailor immediately came to mind, although I have not checked out the site yet. There's always Sean's England.

Gneral Taylor?  Lukey?

I don't know if it fits the show, but one of my favorite shanties is Stan Rogers' Barrett's Privateers (YouTube link). Probably works best as a group, though. How about Leave Her Johnny, Leave Her (YouTube)?

Captain Kidd?

Just figured I would post an update!

I am going to sing Graceful and Charming for the audition! I'm extremely excited. I also decided to pick up the mandolin a little less than a month ago (which is coming along very very very slowly haha). Even so, i'm getting really nervous as it gets closer to the audtion date (July 26th) but i'm super confident that i'll have the GBS good vibes on my side. May their sunny light smile on me that day haha!

Thank for all of your awesome suggestions!
Wish Me Luck!!
(off to go practice :D)

Desperate times call for desperate measures
Open your mind to all life's little pleasures
The hole in this world could be healed if by chance
everyone just stood up, took their pants off and danced
