According to the Contemporary Turkish dictionary, folk songs are a type of music written with syllabic meter and performed with folk melodies, describing the emotions and situations of the people. Many different topics such as love, infatuation, separation, death, homelessness, illness, heroism are covered in folk songs. Every situation that covers every moment of life takes place in folk songs. In this context, the study of folk songs that contain cultural accumulation is also the study of the life of a society. This study is a document analysis study made by scanning the word "körpe" in the Turkish Folk Music Archive of the TRT Music Department. In the study, the word "körpe", which is used both for baby animals and fresh plants in real terms, and for young people who have not completed their physical growth even though they have grown physically, was chosen and the context in which the word young is used in folk songs and how it is handled is examined. The folk songs determined for this purpose were examined in alphabetical order. According to the determined folk songs methods; “kırık hava” and “uzun hava” songs were separated and tables were prepared. In the tables, the repertoire number, the date of examination and compilation, the region, the source person, the compiler and the note taker are given for each folk song. After this classification work, the folk songs were handled one by one with their words, and the context and meaning of the expression "körpe" in the folk song was evaluated.
