Default Mixolydian traditional songs

Hello all
I am finding playing the melodies of old songs with a major 3rd and flattened 7th great for learning my way my way around Orkney tuning but I only know 2 , Greenland Whale Fishery and Reynardine.
Can anyone suggest some others?
Thanks .

Banish Misfortune is a good one.

Thanks for those suggestions, that list of Irish songs with modes is a great resource, I particularly liked that air Johny Doyle, think it should sound great played in Orkney.
