Welcome! This is a website that everyone can build together. It's easy!

HomeThis is a featured page







This is my folk song page. I have been singing folk songs for over forty years, and I am using this site to share my songs and information about them. You are welcome to add information and links to your songs.







Raymond's YouTube Channel: My goal was to upload 1001 songs to YouTube in 1001 days. I didn't manage to do one a day, but I did reach 1001 songs. This wetpaint site is largely an attempt to organise my songs in some kind of logical way, according to their origins or subject matter.

Raymond's CDs: This is where you can find information about my four CDs, with links to some of the tracks, YouTube performances of the songs and lyrics. My CDs are not currently available for purchase through paypal, but if you are interested, you can contact me and we'll find a way.


Other Non-folk websites:

Raymond's Travel Page: My other main interest is in travelling. This site has many stories and journals about my travels over the years, though it has not been updated for some time.

Raymond's Stories: I used to write short stories and poems, until I realised I wasn't very good at it. As I don't like to throw things away, I have collected my stories on this site. Actually there are some quite good ones, if you look carefully enough.

All my websites can now be found via this portal: raymondcrooke.com

Hi Raymond,

Thanks for posting the song and lyrics of "The Leaving of Nancy". Both my sisters emigrated from Ireland to California in the 80's and one sister sang that song for our mother on the night before she left (we still have a cassette recording!). I still cannot read the lyrics without crying!!!

Also, may I say that "I Hate Wogs" is quite brilliant. The fact that you get support from racists says quite a lot about their mental ability I would say. In New York, in the last century, New Yorkers' thought that they could catch potato blight from Irish immigrants - LOL!

Thanks again,

Many regards, Patrick McInerney - Kilkenny, Ireland
