Here's my guitar arrangement of a popular traditional song that is well known throughout Spain and Mexico. (I didn't want to mangle the words with my poor Spanish, so I'm not singing it.) The title and first line translates to "You are tall and slender like your mother." I first heard the song on an album by The Weavers, but have since discovered many excellent recordings of it by Spanish artists.

Here's an old Broadway tune from the musical "Finian's Rainbow", which I've always loved. It's faux-Irish and not traditional at all, but still has some magic to it. I recommend you listen to the original recording, sung by Ella Logan, to get an idea what a great song this is.
