No playlist but often in my mind runs this refrain.

"...There's a long, long trail a-winding
Into the land of my dreams,
Where the nightingales are singing
And a white moon beams.
There's a long, long night of waiting
Until my dreams all come true;
Till the day when I'll be going down
That long, long trail with you."

by Stoddard King/ Zo Elliot, 1913

"For he shall give his angels charge over thee" from 'Elijah' by Mendelssohn. Wesi g in St. Michael's Singers at Coventry Cathedral and sang this the week before I left. It kept running through my head while I was walking and I sang it in empty chuches along the Way.
 
I'm still debating about whether I'm going to put some music on my phone, as I took my ipod last Camino and only listened to it once in 23 days. However, I do know that this song will be one of my songs if I do.
 
And just for fun:

"Carrying Your Love with Me" - George Strait
"Anticipation" - Carly Simon
"The Longest Time" - Billy Joel
"I Love a Rainy Night" - Eddie Rabbitt
"A Thousand Miles from Nowhere" - Dwight Yoakam
"Step that Step" - Sawyer Brown
and....
"It's 5 o'clock Somewhere" - Buffett / Jackson

My wife contributes this from Shakespeare.

Jog on, jog on, the footpath way
And merrily bent the stile-a;
Your merry heart goes all the day,
Your sad tires in a mile-a.

Which he borrowed from an existing folk tune.

Out of curiosity I searched for "el-camino lyrics" and found a whole lot of country and rockabilly songs about the car/truck chimera.

Beware, there's one popular El Camino song which is most definitely not PG! Google it at your peril.

I never realized that so many well known songs had lyrics that talked about "walking"! This thread has been a fun eye opener for me!
