Help me build a set list for busking.

[IPYF]

I've just decided to use a little bit of my spare time usefully for a change.

Instead of browsing forums and scratching listlessly in the afternoon after work I've decided it's a good plan to get out the old archtop guitar and do an hour of busking at the train station near my place.

I sing and play ok but the problem is that I don't play tunes really, I've always just jammed and I think the best way to get coins coming in would be to play the songs people know and get into.
So if you came across a busker what are some of the ditties you would expect, or want, to hear coming out of their mouth?

Try and be helpful hey. I've asked around elsewhere and everyone's being all facetious. People are all like "Why would you want to busk?" and "Just sing songs about people who pass by". Real songs people, real feasible suggestions, please.

Reggae version of Waltzing Matilda.

BUMP for you!

What type of music are you thinking about? Rock? Blues? Country? Western? Metal?

I actually do busk but always with other people

It will be just me. As long as it can be played with one man and one guitar I could feasibly do it.

Just play commercial tunes that 1) you happen to like and 2) you are capable of singing and playing, it's your gig after all.

Whatever songs you can do best.
