I like the classic murder ballads, which are too numerous to list here. Here is an obvious one. The first one that came to my mind, but an essential murder ballad:
This one is not a folk song. Gordon Gano wrote it in study hall when he was in high school, but it could have fooled me. Great fanimation too:
I don’t know if this one qualifies or not, but it’s a great story.
I like the relative gender equality in murder ballads too!

Cole Porter. Love it. I love most everything he’s done.

*and a cat, according to the record label.
There’s also a fun band from Spokane, the Terrible Buttons. I luuuurrrrrrve Horror Folk.
Well, this seems timely.
Crap. I don’t want to hear that…
