There Lived A King (from The Gondoliers) - Youtube - Lyrics - operetta

Vilja (from Die Lustige Witwe/The Merry Widow - Franz Lehár/Victor León/Leo Stein) - Youtube or Gloria.tv video in English - alternative English lyrics/lyrics in German with literal English translation - operetta

Green, Green Grass of Home (Tom Jones) - Youtube - Lyrics - country

Lily, Rosemary and the Jack of Hearts - Youtube - Lyrics - folk rock

The Foggy, Foggy Dew (Benjamin Britten and Peter Pears) - Youtube - Lyrics (I can't find the lyrics that exactly match this version. This is the closest, but verse two goes 'She sighed, she cried, she damn near died/She said, what shall I do?/ So I hauled her into bed and I covered up her head/Just to keep her from the foggy, foggy dew.' - folk/art song

Nominating the songs themselves in all cases. The top two are from shows, but they are both self-contained stories.
