The Paul Simon Song Book is an album by Paul Simon. It was only released on LP in the United Kingdom and was supposedly deleted in 1979 at Simon's request. It was available as part of the LP box set Paul Simon: Collected Works (1981).

The Song Book was rereleased in (2004) by Columbia/Legacy on CD. The quality of the recordings indicate that a copy of the original recordings was used to master these songs since quite a lot of background noise can be heard in all of the songs. The CD features two bonus tracks, alternative versions of I am a rock and A Church is Burning which were not part of the (1965) LP release.

All songs by Paul Simon except * Paul Kane - Although Paul Kane was a name used by Paul Simon at this time.

For earlier recordings of tracks 5 and 7: Wednesday Morning, 3 A. M.

For later recordings of tracks 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, and 8: Sounds of Silence

For later recordings of tracks 10, 11, and 12: Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme
