Adding to the dulcimer repertoire. Contains POLL!

[kniteracy]

I'm trying to add some more songs with the mountain dulcimer to my repertoire. Songs that I have done in the past with this instrument include The Shirt of Lace, (assuming I can find the chords) and The Scarlet Tide, which I first heard in the film Cold Mountain.

So, I'm trying to figure out which one (or two, or three, or half-dozen) songs I should work on next with the dulcimer.

And so, here's a poll!

I'm not familiar with the songs you've mentioned, but I'll presume they're worth digging for, and dig. :)
