Red River Valley is a classic folk song of unknown origins, but the earliest known manuscript of the song is dated 1879.
Bile Them Cabbage Down. Another classic folk song of unknown origin, but the tune can be traced back to 1765 in England. The lyrics speak of hoe cakes, small cakes of cornmeal baked on the blade of a hoe and cabbage soup. The song normally intrgrates African and European elements, the banjo and fiddle. This is the best version I could find that didn't play it at blazing speed. The lyrics are changed a bit here, but you'll get the idea of the song anyway.
