The oral tradition preserved several dozens of folk songs that arose out of the broadside ballads. In these cases the broadside ballad was shortened, the strophes that included verses and formulations not reflecting the popular experience were omitted and the vulgar words replaced by formulations typical for folk song. The tolkative character of the broadside ballad was substituted by the concise way of folk song. The texts were supplemented by folk melodies. These statements can be proved by the case of the song Such a sorrow I have, cloth trousers… that arose out of the broadside ballad. This folk song existed in many textual and melodic variants and under various incipits on the whole territory of Bohemia and parts of Moravia and Slovakia. Some formulations in the broadside ballad indicate its origin in the period of 1811–1816, while the folk song appeared for the first time in the collection of K. J. Erben from the year 1864. In published and manuscript collections were ascertained in the whole 23 textual and 18 melodic variants. The tunes come out of the traditional melodies and usually imitated some concrete folk song. The songs are mostly dance songs, in triple time, mostly in the rhythm of „sousedská“, ländler or round-and-round („kolečko“). The instrumental recordings of closing parts of some songs as well as the notes of the collectors prove that these songs accompanied the dance at dance evenings or weddings. Their humorous text and dance rhythm probably contributed to their popularity and wide spreading, especially on occasions of high-spirited wedding celebrations. The song had been preserved in oral tradition, in numerous variants, for almost 200 years, and this constitutes one of the main attributes of a folk song.

Božena Čapková (1866-1924), mother of Karel Čapek, lived with her family in the foothills of the Giant Mountains in the small town of Úpice. In 1893 she started collecting folk songs for the Czechoslavic Ethnographical Exhibition which took place in Prague in 1895. She was responsible for the recording of texts, whilst the notation scores were done by a teacher Karel Kořízek, also from Úpice. Their collection was greatly acknowledged by the Exhibition committee as one of the best. once again in 1907, they both partook in another collection towards a project declared by the Czech Working Committee for folk song. Their collection from both projects contains 502 songs and 45 rhymes. Apart from this project, Božena Čapková collected superstitious stories, legends, fairy tales, proverbs and superstitions. She was also interested in traditional food and dress. She published several other superstitious stories regarding the water sprite in Český lid in 1896, and the terminology of Lenten meals in 1911. The author of the study found several so far unknown superstitious stories and legends and one fairy tale deposited in the Museum of Czech Literature in Staré Hrady by Jičín.
