Favorite Campfire Songs

[vwjodyme]

With campfire season upon us I was wondering what everyones favorite songs to play are.

I busted out Monkey and the Engineer, Dire Wolf, and Friend of the Devil for some kids this past weekend. Just looking for a few more ideas. I'm also working on I Know you Rider and Jack a roe, but jack a roe is pretty tough after a few beers

Alright, I think i've put together a pretty solid list running through the songs on this site.

Anyone have any others to add/subtract?

Althea
Bertha
Deal (Not sure how this will turn out on acoustic)
Dire Wolf
Friend of the Devil
I know you Rider
Jack A Roe
Loser
Me & My Uncle
Ripple
Sugaree
Tangled up in Blue ( Good luck remembering all those words )
Uncle John's Band

Anything done by Grisman & Garcia

*** One caveat - Wind and Rain.....when people realize what is being said jaws usually drop.

[TRG]

Here's a few others:

Been all around this world
Rosalie McFall
Cumberland Blues
Whiskey in the Jar
Deep Elem Blues

[tcsned]

Dupree's Diamond Blues - I played around a campfire for about 4 hours straight

[Poor Peter]

Teddy Bears Picnic is always a hit with kids and a campfire for me.

[WildEye]

Yeah anything off of "not for kids only"... I think "Arkansas Traveler" is a top choice...

[tigerstrat]

wildly dependent on set,setting, audience, time of night (or day)

Beatles, Willie nelson, John Prine, Cat Stevens... how about "TV Party" by Black Flag? or "Bobby Brown Goes Down" by Zappa? "I'll Stop The World" by Modern English"?

Black Napkin

[Grateful Dad]

So much good stuff to write. Going camping next week by a river in Lower Bank NJ so any devil related song is good. Here are some of my favorites:

Long Black Veil
The Hobo Song
Evangeline
In the Jailhouse Now
Gates of Eden
Ballad of Hollis Brown
Illegal Smile
