All At Once
Composer(s): Cass - Myers
Performer(s): Cliff Richard & the Shadows



All at once, it's you, it's you for me
And all at once, there's blossom on each tree

It's so thrilling and so new to me
this enchantment that you do to me
and forever in your spell I'll be

All at once, my doubts and fears are past
I feel as though I've come back home at last
I thought I was fancy-free, till I felt this magic glow
Now, it's you for me and all at once I know

All at once, my doubts and fears are past
I feel as though I've come back home at last
I thought I was fancy-free, till I felt this magic glow
Now, it's you for me and all at once I know

You're all I've got, take care of me

Whiskey River take my mind
Don't let her mem're torture me
Whiskey River don't run dry
You're all I've got, take care of me  

All Around The World Or The Myth Of Fingerprints
Composer(s): Paul Simon
Performer(s): Paul Simon; Los Lobos



Over the mountain down in the valley 
Lives a former talk show host
Everybody knows his name
He says there's no doubt about it
It was the myth of fingerprints
I've seen them all and man, they're all the same 

Well, the sun gets weary
And the sun goes down
Ever since the watermelon
And the lights come up
On the black pit town
Somebody says what's a better thing to do
Well, it's not just me
And it's not just you
This is all around the world 

Out in the Indian Ocean somewhere
There's a former army post
Abandoned now just like the war
And there's no doubt about it
It was the myth of fingerprints
That's what that old army post was for 

Well, the sun gets bloody... 

Over the mountain down in the valley
Lives tho former talk-show host
And far and wide his name was known
He said there's no doubt about it
It was the myth of fingerprints
That's why we must learn to live alone

Whiskey On A Sunday
Performer(s): The Dubliners



Chorus
Come day go day
Whishing in me heart it was Sunday
Drinking buttermilk all the week
Whiskey on a Sunday

He sits on the corner of Beggars Bush
Astride of an old packing case
And the dolls on the end of the plank were dancing
As the crooned with a smile on his face

His tired old hands from the wooden beam
And the puppets they danced up and down
A far better shwo you ever did see
In the fanciest theatre in town

But in 1902 old Step Daly died
His song it was heard no more
The three dancing dolls in the dust were thrown
And the plank went to mend the backdoor

But on some stormy night if you are passing that way
With the wind blowing up from the sea
You can still hear the song of old Step Daly
As he croons to his dancing dolls three

Well, if I don't love you baby
Grits ain't groceries, eggs ain't poultry
And Mona Lisa was a man

All around the world I'd-a rather be a fly
I'll lite on my baby n' stay with her 'till I die
With a toothpick in my hand, I'd dig a ten foot ditch
And run through the jungle fightin' lions with a switch

'Cause you know I love you, baby
Yes, you know I love you, baby
Well, if I don't love you, baby
Grits ain't groceries, eggs ain't poultry
And Mona Lisa was a man

All around the world I got blisters on my feet
Tryin' to find my baby n' bring her home with me
You better run into me baby and be convinced
If you don't run into me, woman, you ain't got no sense

'Cause you know I love you, baby
Well, you know I love you, baby
Well, if I don't love you, baby
Grits ain't groceries, eggs ain't poultry
And Mona Lisa was a man

All around the world, I never will forget
Lost all my money, my woman and my pet
I got to have you baby, settle for nothin' less
Give up all my goodtime girls an' set'd for happiness

'Cause you know I love you, baby
Well, you know I love you, baby
Well, you know I want you, baby
Yes, your smilin' face is my heaven in life

Well, you know I love you, baby
Yes, you know I love you, baby
Ooh-ooh, you know I love you, baby
Yeah, you know I love you, baby

Well, if I don't love you, baby
Grits ain't groceries
Eggs ain't poultry
Mona Lisa was a man

Whiskey Man
Composer(s): John Entwistle
Performer(s): The Who



Whiskey Man's my friend, he's with me nearly all the time
He always joins me when I drink, and we get on just fine

Nobody has ever seen him, I'm the only one
Seemingly I must be mad, Insanity is fun
If that's the way it's done

Doctors say he just a figment of my twisted mind
If they can't see my Whiskey Man they must be going blind

Two men dressed in white collected me two days ago
They said there's only room for one and Whiskey Man can't go

Whiskey Man will waste away if he's left on his own
I can't even ring him 'cause he isn't on the phone
Hasn't got a home

Life is very gloomy in my little padded cell
It's a shame there wasn't room for Whiskey Man as well

Whiskey Man's my friend, he's with me nearly all the time
He always joins me when I drink, and we get on just fine
Just fine  

All Around My Hat
(Traditional)
Composer(s): Steeleye Span
and multiple other artists



All around my hat I will wear the green willow
All around my hat for a twelve-month and a day
And if anyone should ask me the reason why I'm wearing it
It's all for my true love who's far far away 

Fare thee well cold winter and fare thee well cold frost
Nothing have I gained but my own true love I've lost
I'll sing and I'll be merry when occasion I do see
He's a false deluding young man, let him go farewell he

The other night he brought me a fine diamond ring
But he thought to have deprived me of a far better thing
But I being careful like lovers ought to be
He's a false deluding young man, let him go farewell he

All around my hat I will wear the green willow
All around my hat for a twelve-month and a day
And if anyone should ask me the reason why I'm wearing it
It's all for my true love who's far far away 

Here's a half a pound of reasons, and a quarter pound of sense
A small sprig of time and as much of prudence
You mix them all together and you will plainly see
He's a false deluding young man, let him go farewell he

All around my hat I will wear the green willow
All around my hat for a twelve-month and a day
And if anyone should ask me the reason why I'm wearing it
It's all for my true love who's far far away

Performer(s): Thin Lizzy



As I was goin’ over the cork and kerry mountains
I saw captain farrell and his money he was countin’
I first produced my pistol and then produced my rapier
I said stand and deliver or the devil he may take ya

Musha ring dum a doo dum a da
Whack for my daddy-o
Whack for my daddy-o
There’s whiskey in the jar-o

I took all of his money and it was a pretty penny
I took all of his money and I brought it home to molly
She swore that she’d love me, never would she leave me
But the devil take that woman for you know she tricked me easy

Being drunk and weary I went to molly’s chamber
Takin’ my money with me and I never knew the danger
For about six or maybe seven in walked captain farrell
I jumped up, fired off my pistols and I shot him with both barrels

Now some men like the fishin’ and some men like the fowlin’
And some men like ta hear a cannon ball a roarin’
Me I like sleepin’ specially in my molly’s chamber
But here I am in prison, here I am with a ball and chain yeah

I ain`t no doctor, I ain`t no doctor`s son

From Cape Kennedy I don`t come
Just step inside my rocket ship
I`ll take you circling round the sun

We`ll head off for Pluto, Venus and Mars
Step inside, baby, I`ll take you very far
  
I`m a handyman, an all around man
An all around man, an all around man
And when your husband comes
That`s when the handyman is gonna scram

Whirlwind Soldier
Composer(s): Cassandra Wilson
Performer(s): Cassandra Wilson



We speak in separate words
We love in differeent colors
Our love is madness how can it be?
This is a mystery to me

You broke into my world
shattering all the lies that I'd heard all my life
You were a whirlwind bending the trees, bending the trees
I am a summer breeze

Can I ride with you?
I know that the road is long
Can I ride with you?
I know I will be strong

Until the journey's end
we are forever friends
You and I
You were a whirlwind bending the trees, bending the trees
I'll be a summer breeze  

All Around Cowboy Of 1964
Composer(s): Buddy Alan - R. McDonald
Performer(s): Buck Owens



Folks used to think that
I could ride any bronc or bull alive
Maybe in my younger days I could
But now I'm slowin' down a bit
friends tell me that I should quit
And if I didn't love it so I would

I recall when folks thought
I was great and all the riders used to hate
To see my name upon the entry door
'Cause I could ride and I could rope
The others seem they have no hope
A lookin' at a buckle that I wore

It's that all around cowboy of nineteen sixty four
Long days and lucky breaks have me alone
Workin' hard and ridin' fast and sleepin' in the cold
Made me all around cowboy of nineteen sixty four

Folks don't seem to realize
the thrill I get from every ride
That bronc feels like you're dynamite to me
Scratched and bruised my body aches
from day to day to use it's takes
Lord, only knows the way that sets me free

Now my days have shortened up
I'm out of breakes and out of luck
And things will never be the same old way
As I look back and shed a tear
Sometimes I can almost hear
The echo of the judges, they would say

You're the all around cowboy of nineteen sixty four
Long days and lucky breaks have me alone
Workin' hard and ridin' fast and sleepin' in the cold
Made me all around cowboy of nineteen sixty four

Yes, I'm the all around cowboy of nineteen sixty four... 

Whipping Post
Composer(s): Gregg Allman
Performer(s): The Allman Brothers Band



I've been run down
I've been lied to
I don't know why
I let that mean woman make me a fool
She took all my money
wrecked my new car
Now she's with one of my good time buddies
They're drinkin' in some crosstown bar

Sometimes I feel, sometimes I feel
Like I've been tied to the whipping post
Tied to the whipping post
Tied to the whipping post
Good lord, I feel like I'm dyin'

My friends tell me
that I've been such a fool
And I have to stand by and take it baby
all for lovin' you
Drown myself in sorrow
and I look at what you've down
But nothin' seems to change
the bad times stay the same
And I can't run

Sometimes I feel, sometimes I feel
Like I've been tied to the whipping post
Tied to the whipping post
Tied to the whipping post
Good lord, I feel like I'm dyin'  

All Around
Composer(s): Andrew Farriss - Michael Hutchence
Performer(s): INXS



I see the rising sun
I feel the warming one
We've come a circle
To the way we once begun

No one's really sure
How to make it up
Or give a name to the way
We've been acting lately

All around

A man he buys a gun
He is his father's son
But one day he takes to gun
And takes the lives of one and many

Looking out one day
A message comes to me
I saw a woman tell the truth
And end up behind bars

I walked an empty street
Proud to spill a tear
Then came my shame
My fear to blame
The one and only

See the rising sun
Feel the warming one
We've come a circle
To the way we once begun

The only shelter wild bush

Crack that whip
Give the past the slip
Step on a crack
Break your momma's back

When a problem comes along
You must whip it
Before the cream sits out too long
You must whip it
When something's going wrong
You must whip it

now whip it
into shape
shape it up
get straight
go forward
move ahead
try to detect it
it's not too late
to whip it
whip it good

When a good time turns around
You must whip it
You will never live it down
Unless you whip it
No one gets their way
Until they whip it

I say whip it
Whip it good  

All American Alien Boy

Performer(s): Ian Hunter; Mott the Hoople



I packed my bags - in the land of rags
'Cos I don't believe in them dimmo drags
Don't wanna vote for the left wing - don't wanna vote for the right
I gotta have both-to make me fly

Just a whitey from Blighty - heading out west
Got my little green card 'n my bulletproof vest
Goin' to old tube city - where the buzz is the best
On down the line (down the line) down the line (down the line)

Well I was born (on the line) 'n I was raised (on the line)
I was schooled (on the line) 'n I was fazed (on the line)
'N I was used (on the line) 'n I was dazed (on the line)
Just had to split (off the line) 'cos I was crazed (off the line)

'N I remember all the good times - me 'n Miller enjoyed
Up and down the M1 in some luminous yo-yo toy
But the future has to change - and to change I've got to destroy
Oh look out Lennon here I come - land ahoy-hoy-hoy

All American Alien Boy All American Alien Boy

Don't look down put your feet on the ground don't drown in the big aquarium 
Don't walk slow - put on a big show - shove your meat down vegetarians
Don't get slugged, get mugged, get bugged, or they'll sling you in the jug
Shove you under some rug, give you some drug - pull out the plug and then... 

And they're telling me this hamburger's cheaper than the other
'N this television's cheaper than the other
And they're selling me hotdogs cheaper than the other
'N these pizzas cheaper than the other
And I don't understand all this - I'm just an All American Alien Boy

'N they're telling me rifles are shot in Connecticut
They're telling me pistols are shot in Westchester
You can get a Saturday Night Special on Flatbush, on the Bowery, or the Bronx 

Or on 42nd Street - And I don't understand all this - being an All American Alien Boy

I've got sodium nitrate rotting in my guts
My head's full of ulcers I got lungs full of butts
My heart wants a transplant - it thinks that I'm nuts
My logic won't open - my eyes won't shut
'N I'm beginning to dig all this - being an All American Alien Boy

And your women are always right (alright)
They always know so much more
'Cos the women came from heaven
'N the men came outta some store
'N they don't know who they are and they don't know what they're for

I'm an All American Alien Boy - look out Mary Tyler Moore - All American Alien Boy ...

Songs were meant to sing while we're young
Ev'ry day is spring while we're young
None can refuse; time flies so fast
Too dear to lose, and too sweet to last

Though it may be just for today
Share our love we must, while we may
How blue the sky, all sweet surprise
Shines before our eyes while we're young

How blue the sky, all sweet surprise
Shines before our eyes while we're young  

All Along The Watchtower
((Italian Version: Lungo I Merli Di Vedetta (by Tito Schipa Jr.) - 1987))
Composer(s): Bob Dylan
First release by: Bob Dylan - 1967
Covered by multiple other artists



There must be some kind of way outta here 
said the joker to the thief 
There´s too much confusion... 
I can´t get no relief 

Business men they drink my wine 
Plowman, dig my earth 
None of them along the line 
Know what any of it is worth 
hey, hey 

No reason to get excited 
The thief he kindly spoke 
There are many here among us 
Who feel that life is but a joke 
But, uh...but you and I, we´ve been through that 
And this is not our fate 
So let us stop talkin´ falsely now 
The hour´s getting late, hey 

All along the watchtower 
Princes kept the view 
While all the women came and went 
Barefoot servants, too 
Outside in the cold distance 
A wildcat did growl 
Two riders were approaching 
And the wind began to howl

While You're Away "Pack Up Your Cares In A Bundle Of Joy"
Composer(s): L. Wolfe Gilbert; Anatole Friedland



His furlough time was over, he was told to say goodbye 
And though his heart was staunch and true 
A tear drop dimmed his eye 
His little mother by his side she smiled to hide her pain
And whispered softly let's be brave
Your tear drop is in vain

As brave as any soldier is the mother of her son 
Her golden soul has done it's share 
In every vict'ry won 
In years gone by and those to be, the soldier can recall
The message from his mother dear
He treasures more than all

While you're away 
While you're away I'll keep the lovelight bright
So at night it will light, your way, dear
Just think of me wheree'er you'll be 
I'll do my share, and bear, for someday 
While you're away 
You'll write and say 
Our work is done and I am sailing homeward today 
Pack up your cares in a bundle of joy 
I'll wait for you till it's over my boy 
May God bless you while you're away
