Patriotic and Folk Songs of the Anglosphere

I should note here that this list has a definite American bias in so far as I know those songs best and these come from my play list.

National Anthems

Advance Australia Fair

God Save the Queen
http://www.geocities.com/TheTropics/Shores/5636/godsave.html
this is not a very good web page, the info on the order of the writing of the verses is not correct, but it was the best I could find with music and text.
