All My Children Of The Sun Composer(s): Pete Seeger Performer(s): Pete Seeger
The navigator said to the engineer I think our radio's dead I can hear but I can't send And there's bad weather ahead The pilot said to the co-pilot Our right engine's gone But if we can make it over these mountains Perhaps I can set her down All my children of the sun!
Five hundred miles from nowhere We bellylanded on a river We bid a quick goodbye To that ship of silver Twenty-five piled out the window Twenty reached the shore We turned to see our metal bird Sink to rise no more All my children of the sun!
We found some floating logs We found some sharp stones We cut some vines and made a raft It was our only hope The navigator said he thought there was A town somewhere downstream So now each tried to do his best To paddle as a team
All except one young guy Who kept arguing with the navigator He said he'd read about a waterfall We would come to sooner or later At a river's bend he persuaded us To bring our craft to beach But a search party found the river smooth As far as eye could reach All my children of the sun
Once again he persuaded us to stop We cursed at the delay Once again we found the river Flowing on the same old way We said, shut up your arguing You give us all a pain Why don't you pitch in and go your part Be constructive for a change? All my children of the sun
Still egghead kept on talking In the same longwinded way We said, if you won't paddle Get the hell out of our way We told him to go sit Far back at the stern Then we strained to paddle harder And then the river made a turn All my children of the sun
One paddler heard sound of tapping And what he saw, when he did turn Was egghead with a sharp stone Cutting the vines that bound the stern With a cry of rage the paddler Leaped up to his feet He swung his long pole Knocked egghead into the deep But now the logs were splaying out The raft had come unbound Like mad we paddled for the shore Before all would drown All my children of the sun
A search party went out to find more vines To tie the raft up tight In twenty minutes they returned Their faces pale with fright They said a quarter mile down river We DID find a waterfall It's over a hundred feet in height It would have killed us all All my children of the sun
And that is why on the banks Of a far off wilderness stream Which none of us, none of us Will ever see again There stands a cross for someone Hardly older than a boy Who, we thought, was only Trying to destroy All my children of the sun
Who's The Blonde Stranger? Composer(s): Jimmy Buffett; Will Jennings; Josh Leo; Michael Utley Performer(s): Jimmy Buffett
Nothing like this way out in west Texas Galveston Bay is a whole other world My wife's in her room getting over her sunburn How would Louis Lamore get me next to that girl?
She tells me her tan is the same way all over She asks me to dance and says, "Keep your boots on" She never met a number one cowboy We rolled in the sand and drank rum until dawn
Who's the blonde stranger" Who entered my life" Making me over on the moonlight This side of Texas is all new to me Who's the blonde stranger who lives by the sea?
I stayed up all night and for me that's the first time Sneak in the room just as cool as I can Pull back the sheets and the bed is all empty Except for a note left by some guy named Dan
My head got all light and the room started spinning I stepped outside just to get some fresh air Out on a wave was my own darling Lola And some pretty boy with bleach in his hair
Who's the blonde stranger out there with my wife? What were they doing in the moonlight? This side of Texas is all new to me Who are these strangers who live by the sea?
Back on the ranch and everything's normal Beach blanket bingo comes on the TV We talk in our sleep and then the next morning I ask her who's Dan and she asks who's Marie?
All Mixed Up Composer(s): Louise Bennett Coverly - Pete Seeger Performer(s): Peter, Paul and Mary
You know this language that we speak, is part German, Latin and part Greek Celtic and arabic all in a heap, well amended by the people in the street The Choctaw gave us the word "okay"; "vamose" is a word from Mexico way And all of this is a hint I suspect of what comes next
I think that this whole world Soon mama my whole wide world Soon mama my whole world Soon gonna be get mixed up Soon mama my whole world Soon mama my whole wide world Soon mama my whole world Soon gonna be get mixed up
I like Polish sausage, I like Spanish rice, and pizza pie is also nice Corn and beans from the Indians here washed down by German beer Marco Polo traveled by camel and pony, he brought to Italy, the first macaroni And you and I as well we're able, we put it all on the table
I think that this whole world Soon mama my whole wide world Soon mama my whole world Soon gonna be get mixed up Soon mama my whole world Soon mama my whole wide world Soon mama my whole world Soon gonna be get mixed up
There were no red-headed Irishmen before the Vikings landed in Ireland How many Romans had dark curly hair before they brought slaves from Africa? No race of man is completely pure, nor is anyone's mind, that's for sure The winds mix the dust of every land, and so will woman and man
I think that this whole world Soon mama my whole wide world Soon mama my whole world Soon gonna be get mixed up Soon mama my whole world Soon mama my whole wide world Soon mama my whole world Soon gonna be get mixed up
This doesn't mean we will all be the same We'll have different faces and different names Long live many different kinds of races It's a difference of opinion that makes horse races Just remember the rule about rules, brother What could be right for one could be wrong for the other And take a tip from La Belle France: "Vive la différence!"
I think that this whole world Soon mama my whole wide world Soon mama my whole world Soon gonna be get mixed up Soon mama my whole world Soon mama my whole wide world Soon mama my whole world Soon gonna be get mixed up

All Men Are Hungry Composer(s): Steve Harley Performer(s): Steve Harley
Was in the early evening and the sun was punching into my head Outside a stockholm cafe at the rivers edge we sat and smiled We said how rich we were and how warm we felt with a cognac heart Talked over women in a lonely voice and began to jive
All the men are hungry, all the men are in search of time
Was in a scene from "death in the afternoon" when I almost cried I realized papa wanted me to live in his bull ring life It made me hungry for peace and it made me wild and tore my heart It didnt help to wipe away the fears like he often claimed
All the men are hungry, all the men are in search of time
Was in a frenzy from the midnight air when I saw the light I realized only children can live upon a timeless flight It made me hungry for youth and it made me sad and made me laugh To think that as we live and learn we only follow gods path
All the men are hungry, all the men are in search of time
All the men are hungry, all the men are in search of time
Who's That Knocking? Composer(s): Claude Johnson; Fred Jones Performer(s): The Genies; and various other artists
Who's that knocking on my door All last night and the night before Boom boom boom, bang bang bang I can't stand this awful thing Who's that knocking on my door

All last night, as I lie in bed With my lights down low I heard approaching footsteps Boom boom boom, bang bang bang On my door
Who's that knocking on my door Could it be Mable, could it be Flo? Got myself in an awful fix When I got involved with those two chicks Who's that knocking on my door

All the girls get a kiss in the ballroom All the boys Brahms & Lizst on the floor I remember the time when we sang Auld Lang syne
We all join hands and we all join hands So let's all join hands here and now
Have the time of your life when you're younger And have the time of your life when you're old Drink the wine, feeling fine as we sang Auld Lang syne
We all join hands and we all join hands So let's all join hands here and now We all join hands and we all join hands So let's all join hands here and now Here and now Here and now Here and now

Un Mundo Raro Composer(s): José Alfredo Jiménez Performer(s): José Alfredo Jiménez; and various other artists
Cuando te hablen de amor y de ilusiones y te ofrezcan un sol y un cielo entero si te acuerdas de mi no me menciones porque vas a sentir amor del bueno
Y si quieren saber de tu pasado es preciso decir una mentira di que vienes de allá, de un mundo raro que no sabes llorar que no entiendes de amor y que nunca has amado
Porque yo adonde voy hablaré de tu amor como un sueño dorado y olvidando el rencor no diré que tu adios me volvió desgraciado
Y si quieren saber de mi pasado es preciso decir otra mentira les diré que llegue de un mundo raro que no sé del dolor que triunfe en el amor y que nunca he llorado
All is loneliness before me Loneliness before me Loneliness
All is loneliness Loneliness before me Loneliness before me Loneliness before me Loneliness before me Loneliness before me
All is loneliness Loneliness before me Loneliness before me Loneliness before me Loneliness before me Loneliness before me Loneliness
Loneliness come botherin' `round my house Loneliness come botherin' Loneliness come botherin' Loneliness come botherin' round my house Loneliness
Loneliness come worryin' round my door Loneliness come worryin' Loneliness come worryin' Loneliness come worryin' round my door Loneliness, oh loneliness
All is Loneliness before me Loneliness before me Loneliness before me Loneliness before me Loneliness before me Loneliness before me Loneliness ...

All Is Forgiven, Come Home Composer(s): Candy Hemphill Christmas - Joel Hemphill Performer(s): Karen Froude
I gathered my treasures and followed the road With glamourous visions in mind I left some hearts aching, who'd loved me so strong I had new pleasures to find
The treasures were wasted And pleasures I tasted were bitter to me in the end And soulless I sought, I woke up and thought I heard a sweet voice on my way
Saying, "All is forgiven, come home All is forgiven, come home The Father's anxiously waiting, and watching the road All is forgiven, come home"
If you are someone who wandered away Leaving more love than you found Greener pastures glowing that caused you to stray Along the road leading down
There is someone who's love is forever He's the essence of mercy and grace Sweetly a small voice is speaking within Listen and you'll hear him say
"All is forgiven, come home All is forgiven, come home The Father's anxiously waiting, and watching the road All is forgiven, come home"
Come home, come home Ye who are weary, come home The Father's anxiously waiting, and watching the road All is forgiven, come home All is forgiven, come home All is forgiven, come home

Had I been true to her I'd be there now In the strawberry patch with Sally tonight, oh yeah In the strawberry patch with my Sally tonight
All In The Name Of Love Performer(s): Willie Nelson
Big Jim Butcher was the king of the hill He ran his business with a deadly will His foreman, John, had a pretty wife The way she looked cut Jim like a knife
John was weak and his wife was, too Her name was Kate, and she fell in, too She let Big Jim do what he had to do And John stood by and his life was thru
It was all in the name of love All in the name of love You can't change the stars above All in the name of love
John took a bottle one drink at a time Stared off in space as he lost his mind Knew who it was on the telephone He saw it all and he felt so alone
One dark morning, John stood up like a man He took his shotgun with a steady hand He went to the motel - broke the door in He left two holes where two hearts had been
It was all in the name of love All in the name of love You can't change the stars above All in the name of love
He called the preacher and he called the law And when they got there it was pretty raw He said "Boys, you better come and take me away I've done all I can do in the name of love today"
It was all in the name of love All in the name of love You can't change the stars above All in the name of love
It was all in the name of love All in the name of love You can't change the stars above All in the name of love
It was all in the name of love All in the name of love You can't change the stars above All in the name of love

Sometimes a love won't let go Hard as I try I know it shows Everybody's telling me You'll be over her eventually But how am I supposed to feel so secure
