User:Roballyn/Roud

This is a list of folk songs by their Roud Folk Song Index numbers and other catalogue numbers (Child and Laws) where applicable. The Roud numbers and song titles have been extracted by me from the The Traditional Ballad Index at California State University, Fresno and converted to a wikified list using a Perl script resulting in a list of 5602 songs in order of their Roud number. Because the sheer length of the list, it is impossible for me to program the script for every possible combination of song titles that the database throws at me. Furthermore, some songs have articles on Wikipedia with title different than those provided--especially those ending in " (song)" or " (ballad)"--so the list still requires some hand editing before it's ready to posted elsewhere on Wikipedia.
