All Because Of You
Composer(s): Jonathan Lind - Sue Shifrin
First release by: Cher - 1989



Sometimes
A heart has a mind of its own
Sometimes
I can tell myself
That I'm better of beeing alone
Sometimes
But this time
I can't hide from the thought of it
It's around every corner I turn
Right there in lights
In black and white
Staring at me...

It's all because of you
That I feel this way
All because of you
That my heart wants to break
If every other love can be forgotten
It's all because
All because of you

Tonight
I can't feel any magic inside
Tonight
'Cause I can't reach out for the stars
Looking up at the moon on my own
No signs of life
No nothin's right
Since you've been gone

It's all because of you
That I feel this way
All because of you
That my heart wants to break
If every other love can be forgotten
It's all because
All because of you

All because of you I can't sleep at night
Oh no! I can't sleep at night
And there ain't no rest
Living second best
Without your love
You don't know what it's like
To feel this way
All because of you
That my heart wants to break
If every other love can be forgotten
It's all because of you

Whispering while you cuddle near me
Whispering so no one can hear me
Each little whisper seems to cheer me
I know it's true dear....there's no one but you

I'm a singin'

Whispering why you'll never leave me
Whispering why you'll never grieve me
Whisper and say that you believe me
Whispering that I love you

Whispering while you cuddle near me
Whispering so no one can hear me
Each little whisper seems to cheer me
Just whispering that I love you 

All At Once You Love Her

Performer(s): Perry Como
and multiple other artists



You start to light her cigarette
and all at once you love her
You've scarcely talked, you've scarcely met
But all at once you love her
You like her eyes, you tell her so
She thinks you're wise and clever
You kiss goodnight and then you know
You'll kiss goodnight forever
You wonder where your heart can go
Then all at once you know

Whiskey, You're The Devil
(Traditional)
Performer(s): The Clancy Brothers



Now brave boys, we're on the march
Off to Portugal and Spain
Drums are beating, banners flying
The Devil at home will come tonight
So it's go, fare thee well
With a too da loo ra loo ra doo de da
A too ra loo ra loo ra doo de da
Me rikes fall too ra laddie-o
There's whiskey in the jar

Oh, whiskey you're the devil
You're leading me astray
Over hills and mountains
And to Amerikay
You're sweetness from the Bleachner
And spunkier than tea
Oh whiskey you're my darling drunk or sober

The French are fighting boldly
Men are dying hot and coldly
Give every man his flask of powder
His firelock on his shoulder
So it's go, fare thee well
With a too da loo ra loo ra doo de da
A too ra loo ra loo ra doo de da
Me rikes fall too ra laddie-o
There's whiskey in the jar

Oh, whiskey you're the devil
You're leading me astray
Over hills and mountains
And to Amerikay
You're sweetness from the Bleachner
And spunkier than tea
Oh whiskey you're my darling drunk or sober

Says the old wan do not wrong me
Don't take me daughter from me
For if you do I will torment you
When I'm dead my ghost will haunt you
So it's go, fare thee well
With a too da loo ra loo ra doo de da
A too ra loo ra loo ra doo de da
Me rikes fall too ra laddie-o
There's whiskey in the jar

Oh, whiskey you're the devil
You're leading me astray
Over hills and mountains
And to Amerikay
You're sweetness from the Bleachner
And spunkier than tea
Oh whiskey you're my darling drunk or sober

Oh, whiskey you're the devil
You're leading me astray
Over hills and mountains
And to Amerikay
You're sweetness from the Bleachner
And spunkier than tea
Oh whiskey you're my darling drunk or sober

Covered by multiple other artists



All at once 
I finally took a moment 
And I'm realizing that you're not coming back 
And it's finally hit me all at once 

All at once 
I've started counting teardrops and at least a million fell 
My eyes began to swell 
And all my dreams were shattered all at once 

Ever since I met you 
You're the only love I've known 
And I can't forget you 
Though I must face it all alone 

All at once I'm drifting on a lonely sea 
Wishing you'd come back to me 
And that's all that matters now 
All at once I'm drifting on a lonely sea 
Holding on to memories 
And it's hurt me more than you know 
So much more than it shows 
All at once 

All at once 
I looked around and found that you were.. 
With another love
in someone else's arms 
And all my dreams were shattered all at once 

All at once 
The smile that used to greet me 
Brightened someone else's day 
She took your smile away 
And left me with just memories all at once 

Ever since I met you 
You're the only love I've known 
And I can't forget you 
Though I must face it all alone  

All at once I'm drifting on a lonely sea 
Wishing you'd come back to me 
And that's all that matters now 
All at once I'm drifting on a lonely sea 
Holding on to memories 
And it's hurt me more than you know 
So much more than it shows 
All at once ...

Whiskey, Johnny 
(Traditional)



O, whiskey is the life of man
Whiskey, Johnny!
I drink whiskey when I can
Whiskey for my Johnny!

Whiskey from an old tin can
Whiskey, Johnny!
I'll drink whiskey when I can
Whiskey for my Johnny!

I drink it hot, I drink it cold
Whiskey, Johnny!
I drink it new, I drink it old
Whiskey for my Johnny!

Whiskey makes me feel so sad
Whiskey, Johnny!
Whiskey killed my poor old dad
Whiskey for my Johnny!

Whiskey killed my poor old dad
Whiskey, Johnny!
And whiskey drove my mother mad
Whiskey for my Johnny!
I thought I heard the old man say
Whiskey, Johnny!
I'll treat my crew in a decent way
Whiskey for my Johnny!

A glass of grog for every man
Whiskey, Johnny!
And a bottle full for the chanteyman
Whiskey for my Johnny!

Whiskey up and whiskey down
Whiskey, Johnny!
And whiskey all around the town
Whiskey for my Johnny!

Oh whiskey here and whiskey there
Whiskey, Johnny!
Oh I'll have whisky everywhere
Whiskey for my Johnny!

Whiskey makes me pawn my clothes
Whiskey, Johnny!
And whiskey gave me this red nose
Whiskey for my Johnny! 

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

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

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
