Most "traditional" or "folk" music is of sufficient age (pre 1923) to be in the public domain. Bear in mind however, that if the works are without copyright restriction, revisions to lyrics and music can be done at anytime and those are protected. Additionally while the music and lyrics may be unencumbered individual performances may not be.
