    Folk songs are songs that are passed down orally from one generation to the next within a country or community. They often exist in multiple versions and use simple melodies and narrative verses. Folk music originated from the German word "Volk" meaning the people, and was initially used to describe the music of the common, uncultured people. Some examples of Filipino folk songs include "Bahay Kubo", "Mag Tanim ay Di Biro", "Paroparong Bukid", "Leron, Leron Sinta", and "Sitsiritsit Alibangbang".
