Ok so I can play the guitar, and am musically inclined, and know I can sing...but my voice is very low, and I can't sing the majority of songs. Can anyone provide me with a great song, that i can play on the guitar and sing along with? Not like a rockband, like a solo achustic preformance for people around a fire. Somewhere along the lines of Johnny Cash.

If you don't want Johnny Cash (I totally agree with you there) try "Famous Blue Raincoat" by Leonard Cohen. It's a dark, mournful, and beautiful song.

If you go there, and then click "Play" on the first item on the list, you'll get a good quality streaming version.

Your deep voice would be a great advantage to you were you to write songs especialy for yourself.
Whatever you sing in the shower, or alone driving are songs you are comfortable with, you might try them.
I also have a deep voice, and am a singer in a Rock N Roll band, when I was just starting out I did a lot of Leon Russell covers, and in the band we did a lot of Doobie Brothers stuff.

In the valley of the jolly
(Here's your cue) HO HO HO
Green Giant.
Anything by Barry White
The song the flying monkey's sing in the Wizard of Oz
Swing Low Sweet Chariot
The thing a lot of singers do is have a low voice but sing high to give them that angstful edgy sound.

Any song from the Nirvana Unplugged Album -- a great acoustic album
"Space Oddity" by David Bowie ("Ground control to Major Tom" That would sound awesome with a more baritone voice).
"Life on Mars" by David Bowie (Check out the version by Seu Jorge from the Life Aquatic soundtrack)
"Rock Island Line"
"The Gambler" by Kenny Rogers
Anything by Leonard Cohen
"Sweet Jane" (The Cowboy Junkies Version)
"Last Great American Whale" or "Heroin" by Lou Reed
"Don't let it Bring You Down" by Neil Young (but he's got a higher voice, so you'll have to change that).

Try singing any song that a male (with a deep voice sings)
the song Pretty Woman or Lady In Red are good ones (although you are singing about other women but if you don't care those are good)

How about some Josh Groban -"You raise me high" or an single voice "Il Divo". Maybe some Andrea Bocelli?
For a sexier mellow, maybe some Luther Vandross or a soft ballad. Good luck!

And Johnny Cash was exactly what I was thinking when I clicked on your link but it's already taken. Bob Dylan is deeper, but shakier probably due to excess cigarettes.

Ring of Fire is a great Cash tune.

Well in my opinion you should try songs by Stevie Wonder, or Elvis Presley and the likes.
