The aim of this study is to examine the musical and literary aspects of the folk songs of the Karaman region, in which Âşık Onguni takes part as the source person and the compiler. In addition to mentioning the historical and geographical features of the Karaman region, the fact that this city with a deep-rooted past has a small number of works that can be considered in the context of Turkish folk music melodies was also mentioned. The information about the Karaman region contained in the sources of Turkish folk music compilation studies carried out in the period after the proclamation of the Republic was mentioned and Information has been given about the contributions of the folk bard "Aşık Onguni" to the folk music of the Karaman region. Two folk songs registered in the province of Karaman and twelve folk songs that are not included in the repertoire but belong to the region have been identified in the TRT (Turkish Radio Television Corporation) repertoire and these folk songs have been examined in alphabetical order. In the musical analysis of the folk songs included in the study, the characteristics of the maqam sequence, sound widths, form characteristics and rhythm structures were examined. The literary characteristics of folk songs were realized by determining the verse units, verse types, verse shapes, syllable measures, rhyme schemes, and conjunction characteristics. The data obtained have been interpreted based on the criteria given above and some of these data have been expressed with graphs and charts. Suggestions have been made in line with the findings obtained from the data on the folk songs of the Karaman region.
