Guessing the artist on some of these is pretty much impossible -- so if you do, that's extra super duper credits! Woot.
1. Nothing ain't worth nothing but it's free, "Me and Bobby McGee," Kris Kristofferson
2. My pappy was a pistol, I'm a son of a gun, "Dang Me," Roger Miller
3. He stabbed her through the heart and her heart's blood it did flow, "Pretty Polly," Kristin Hersh
4. But they all agreed that the slayer who ran looked a lot like me, "Long Black Veil," Nick Cave
5. They took all the trees, put them in a tree museum, "Big Yellow Taxi," Joni Mitchell
6. It's well we sing bonny boys, bonny mad boys, "Mad Tom of Bedlam," Jolie Holland
7. I'm free from the walls of this prison at last, but I'll never be free from my sins of the past, "Poor Ellen Smith," Neko Case
8. But I would not feel so all alone, everybody must get stoned, "Rainy Day Women #12 and 35," Bob Dylan
9. I would ask him, I would ask him, why he let me love in vain
10. No I never got over those blue eyes, I see them everywhere, "I Still Miss Someone," Emmylou Harris

6/7/06 04:40 (UTC)"Me and Bobby McGee" but guessing which version is tough. My favorites are Joplin's and Kristofferson's, for what that's worth.
4. But they all agreed that the slayer who ran looked a lot like me
"Long Black Veil". Again, covered by everybody under the sun.
5. They took all the trees, put them in a tree museum
"Big Yellow Taxi". I like both the Joni Mitchell and the Counting Crows versions.
6. It's well we sing bonny boys, bonny mad boys
"Bedlam Boys"; I know it from Steeleye Span, but I don't know if anybody else has done it.
8. But I would not feel so all alone, everybody must get stoned
This is a trick question, right? Bob Dylan, of course... and I have a vague recollection that "Everybody Must Get Stoned" isn't the real title... but I'm damned if I can come up with the correct name. Argh.
10. No I never got over those blue eyes, I see them everywhere
"I Still Miss Someone" by... Emmylou Harris? Not sure.

I'm still impressed with how fast people were! I clicked on "reply" when there were no comments on this post yet, and by the time I finished and submitted, almost everything I knew had already been guessed. Zowie.
