Assuming you mean American folk music, it would be "This Land Is Your Land", especially the Woody Guthrie version. I like Woody's raw, authentic sound. The song itself still makes me feel proud of my country, and makes me want to go roamin' again.

Either Roll on Columbia by Woody Guthrie or City or New Orleans by Arlo Guthrie. Both pictured America so beautifully!
I traveled through 38 states of the U.S. by the Greyhound and trains with a Sony Walkman in my left hand and a whiskey bottle in my right. America was as beautiful as these songs!
I am not your native son, but hope you know me; cause I know your power is turning our darkness to dawn (or, I'd be gone 500 miles when the day is done). So, Roll on Columbia, Roll on. Good morning America. How are you?

How about Blowin' In The Wind? I liked Bob Dylan singing about all kinds of issues back in the 60s and 70s.

Puff the magic dragon and where have all the flowers gone. For as long as I can remember whenever the family is together we get the guitars out and sing, those songs always get played.

Turn, Turn, Turn
It is a song taken from Ecclesiastes that talks about how there is a season for everything.
Was it the Byrds? I forget.

Puff, the Magic Dragon, by Peter, Paul and Mary. It always makes me cry.

Scarlet Ribbons by The Kingston Trio.

This is one of my favorites. I created my own version of it that I still sing to this day! Why?, I love the lyrics "Come on people now, smile on your brother..........try to love one another right now!!!"
