Folk Songs About (American) Football

Bobby Bare, "Dropkick Me Jesus Through the Goalposts of Life"

football gets a passing mention in "A Chat With Your Mother" (multiple
recordings). It's also mentioned in "Me and Jimmie Rodgers" by Shel
Silverstein, recorded by Art Thieme on "That's the Ticket!" (Folk-Legacy).
And there's that "Pass That Football" song that the Midnight Special used to
play.

I love The Mitchell Trio's performance of Tom Paxton's "Talking Football," on the "Violet's of Dawn" album, now out on CD. True, all of the references are dated, but the overall message is not. Incidentally, it's one of the rare Paxton songs that he never recorded.
