Whose Shoulder Will You Cry On Composer(s): Billy Wallace; Kitty Wells Performer(s): Kitty Wells; and various other artists
Once you were my life and breath
and you rode your free horse to death Oh you trifled around too much then you lost your loving touch Now whose shoulder will you cry on You didn't love me all alone cause you can't love and do me wrong I don't trust you no more so go knock on another's door And whose shoulder will you cry on
Just let those hot tears burn your eyes they're just payments on the line That made a wreck of me from that chain I've been set free Now whose shoulder will you cry on You didn't love me all alone...

I've been pushed and I've been shoved Been put down by the people I love I've been hurt and I've been scorned At times I've wished I'd never been born, but...

You walked in on the sly Scopin' for love In the crowd, I caught your eye You can't hide your stuff
You came to catch You thought I'd be naive and tame You met your match I beat you at your own game
(chorus) Who's zoomin' who, take another look, tell me baby Who's zoomin who...oh Who's zoomin' who, now the fish jumped off the hook Didn't I baby...Who's zoomin' who (repeat)
Guess you believed the world Played by your rules Here stands an experienced girl Nobody's fool...
Don't speculate you thought you had me covered, but I've got your bait You're bound to be my lover...oh (chorus)
You think you're smooth That you can pick and choose When the time is right... But, just look behind, you'll be surprised to find I'm gonna make you mine tonight...oh (chorus)
All My Dreams Composer(s): Chrissie Hynde Performer(s): The Pretenders
All my dreams Still relive you If this is what you left for me I forgive you Never do I despair When I kneel to say my prayers When slumber fills my head I'll be visiting your bed All my dreams Recollect you And so darling, in a way, our love remains new Funny little things You touch my fingers and fondle my rings Then tenderly without violence, we make love in perfect silence Come, come into my room again Come, come again Oh, come, come into my gloom again End this solitude again I finally took that picture down I've been staring at it for hours and hours Slipping in and out of consciousness But what I can't figure out Why did you do that? Disappear on me like that? Oh baby, please come back where I can touch you Right here where I can see you Come, come into my room again Come, come again Oh baby, come, come into my gloom again Break, break this solitude again All my dreams Of your affection Never have I known, such sweet perfection No drug induced bliss Could ever reach the heights of this Eternal and so pure Help me to endure To endure All my dreams

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
Who's That Lady? Composer(s): O'Kelly Isley; Ronald Isley; Rudolph Isley Performer(s): The Isley Brothers;
and various other artists
Who's that lady (who's that lady) Beautiful lady (who's that lady) Lovely lady (who's that lady) Real fine lady (who's that lady) Hear me calling out to you 'Cause it's all that I can do Your eyes tell me to pursue But you say look yeah, but don't touch, baby
nah, nah, nah don't touch
Who's that lady (who's that lady) Sexy lady (who's that lady) Beautiful lady (who's that lady) Real fine lady (who's that lady) I would dance upon a string Any gift she'd want to bring I would give her anything If she would just do what I say
Come 'round my way, baby Shine my way
Who's that lady (who's that lady) Beautiful lady (who's that lady) Lovely lady (who's that lady) Real fine lady (who's that lady) I would love to take her home But her heart is made of stone I would keep on keeping on If I don't she'll do me wrong
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
Who's that calling, calling my name Tossed a brick through my window pane Boom boom boom, bang bang bang Rap, rap, rap is driving me insane 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
Who's that knocking on my door All last night and the night before Boom boom boom, bang bang bang I can't tell most anything Who's that knocking on my door
Doo-doop, doo-doop, doo wah, bang bang bang Doo-doop, doo-doop, doo wah, bang bang bang Doo-doop, doo-doop, doo wah, bang bang bang All night long
I remember the time when I saw you Standing there all alone in a crowd I remember the time coz we drunk too much wine
We all join hands and we all join hands So let's all join hands here and now
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
