Folk Songs from Pasolini's Canterbury Tales (updated)

Last year I posted a collection of folk songs from Pasolini's Canterbury Tales. I had most of the songs that feature in the film, but, there were a few songs missing. Well I'm pleased to present the complete collection of folk songs as they appear in sequential order.
