    The One Rose (That's Left In My Heart)
    Composer(s): Del Lyon - Lani McIntire
    Performer(s): Jimmie Rodgers
    and multiple other artists



    So blue, so lonesome too, but still true
    Rosie haunts me, makes me think of you
    You're the one rose that's left in my heart, Dear
    I love you, adore you, I do

    Each night in dreamland we wandered along
    Telling love stories anew
    When from a blue sky a black cloud came rolling
    Breaking my heart in two

    But we vowed not to part, I have said from the start
    You're the one rose that's left in my heart
    Oh, we ought not to part, I have said from the start
    You're the one rose that's left in my heart

    The One On The Left Is On The Right
    Composer(s): Jack Clement
    Performer(s): Johnny Cash



    There once was a musical troupe a pickin' singin' folk group
    They sang the mountain ballads and the folk songs of our land
    They were long on musical ability folks thought they would go far
    But political incompatibility led to their downfall

    Well the one on the right was on the left
    And the one in the middle was on the right
    And the one on the left was in the middle
    And the guy in the rear was a Methodist

    This musical agregation toured the entire nation
    Singing the traditional ballads and the folk songs of our land
    They performed with great virtuosity and soon they were the rage
    But political animosity prevailed upon the stage

    Well the one on the right was on the left
    And the one in the middle was on the right
    And the one on the left was in the middle
    And the guy in the rear burned his driver's license

    Well the curtain had ascended a hush fell on the crowd
    As thousands there were gathered to hear the folk songs of our land
    But they took their politics seriously and that night at the concert hall
    As the audience watched deliriously they had a free-for-all

    Well the one on the right was on the bottom
    And the one in the middle was on the top
    And the one on the left got a broken arm
    And the guy on his rear, said, "oh dear"

    Now this should be a lesson if you plan to start a folk group
    Don't go mixin' politics with the folk songs of our land
    Just work on harmony and diction play your banjo well
    And if you have political convictions keep 'em to yourself

    Now the one on the left works in a bank
    And the one in the middle drives a truck
    The one on the right's an all-night deejay
    And the guy in the rear got drafted

    The One In The Middle
    Composer(s): Paul Jones
    Performer(s): Manfred Mann



    Let me tell you 'bout the Manfreds
    The music that they're puttin' down
    They started to play
    On a rainy day
    And the people came from miles around

    They didn't come for the rhythm
    They didn't come for the beat
    The people of the town
    Came just to stand around
    And see the singer lookin' sweet

    Mike Hugg plays the drums, yeah
    Tom McGuiness plays the diamond bass
    But the one in the middle
    Sings "Hey diddle diddle"
    God, he's just a pretty face

    They didn't come for the rhythm
    They didn't come for the beat
    The people of the town
    Came just to stand around
    And see the singer lookin' sweet

    They couldn't have!

    Manfred Mann plays the organ
    Mike Vickers plays guitar
    & there's a geezer called Paul
    Who's so thin & so tall
    And sure wants to be a star

    They didn't come for the rhythm
    They didn't come for the beat
    The people of the town
    Came just to stand around
    And see the singer lookin' sweet

    See the singer lookin'...
    See the singer lookin'...
    See the singer lookin'...
    See the singer lookin'...
    See the singer lookin'...
    See the singer lookin'...
    Sweet

    The One I Loved Back Then (aka Corvette Song)
    Performer(s): George Jones



    I stopped off at the Quicksack for some beer and cigarettes
    The old man took my money as he stared at my Corvette
    He said, I had one just like her son, a 1963
    'Til the man down at the bank took her from me

    Oh She was hotter than a two dollar pistol
    She was the fastest thing around
    Long and lean every young man's dream
    She turned every head in town
    She was built and fun to handle Son
    I'm glad that you dropped in
    She reminds me of the one I loved back then

    Then I handed him my keys and said, here take her for a spin
    The old man scratched his head, then
    he looked at me and grinned
    He said son you just don't understand it ain't the car I want
    It's the brunette in your 'vette that turns me on

    I had one that was hotter than a two dollar pistol
    She was the fastest thing around
    Long and lean every young man's dream
    She turned every head in town
    She was built and fun to handle Son
    I'm glad that you dropped in
    She reminds me of the one I loved back then

    Lord she was hotter than a two dollar pistol
    She was the fastest thing around
    Long and lean every young man's dream
    She turned every head in town
    She was built and fun to handle Son
    I'm glad that you dropped in
    She reminds me of the one I loved back then

    She reminds me of the one I loved back then

    Composer(s): Isham Jones - Gus Kahn
    First recording/First release by: Isham Jones and His Orch. - 1923/1924
    Covered by multiple other artists



    The one I love belongs to somebody else
    She means her tender songs for somebody else
    And even when I have my arms around her
    I know her thoughts are strong for somebody else
    The hands I held belong to somebody else
    I'll bet they're not so cold to somebody else
    It's tough to be alone on the shelf
    It's worse to fall in love by yourself
    The one I love belongs to somebody else
    The one I love belongs to somebody else

    The One Exception
    Composer(s): Lynsey De Paul
    Performer(s): Lynsey De Paul



    When I saw you walking down the street
    I said
    That’s the kind of guy I’d like to meet
    If I just had the chance
    Maybe I could find me a little romance

    So I
    Went and asked you if you knew the time
    (you knew the time)
    Hoping that you wouldn’t see that I was just
    playing for more (playing for more)
    Seeing if you fit for the grand amore

    I said
    I don’t think I really ought to talk to you
    There are somethings that a girl is not meant to do
    But you’re the one exception to the rule
    (ooh, oooh…ooh, oooh)
    I don’t have to go on looking anymore
    There has never been a guy like you before
    You’re the one exception to the rule
    (ooh, oooh…ooh, oooh)

    I was breaking a society rule (breaking a rule)
    I would surely go and blow my cool
    When you asked me my name (asked me my name)
    I thought that I was going crazy (crazy),
    I was going insane

    But then
    As we walked off to a small café (small café)
    Just about a block or so away
    I knew you were the one (you were the one)
    I had a funny feeling something could have begun

    I said
    I don’t think I ought to talk to you
    There are somethings that a girl is not meant to do
    But you’re the one exception to the rule
    (ooh, oooh…ooh, oooh)
    I don’t have to go on looking anymore
    There has never been a guy like you before
    You’re the one exception to the rule
    (ooh, oooh…ooh, oooh)

    One exception, you’re the one
    exception, you’re the one
    exception
    One exception, you’re the one
    exception, you’re the one
    exception

    One day we will be together
    And the two of us will be forever
    And we’ll both remember, won’t we?
    We’ll remember won’t we?

    I don’t think I really ought to talk to you
    There are somethings that a girl is not meant to do
    But you’re the one exception to the rule
    (ooh, oooh…ooh, oooh)
    I don’t have to go on looking anymore
    There has never been a guy like you before
    You’re the one exception to the rule
    (ooh, oooh…ooh, oooh)

    You’re the…
    One exception
    One exception
    You’re the one exception to the rule
    (ooh, oooh…ooh, oooh)

    Hey yeah
    I don’t think I really ought to talk to you
    There are somethings that a girl is not meant to do
    But you’re the one exception to the rule

    My baby said she's trav'ling on the one after 909
    I said move over honey I'm traveling on that line
    I said move over once, move over twice
    Come on baby don't be cold as ice
    Said she's trav'ling on the one after 909

    I begged her not to go and I begged her on my bended knees
    You're only fooling around, you're fooling around with me
    I said move over once, move over twice
    Come on baby don't be cold as ice
    Said she's trav'ling on the one after 909

    I got my bag, run to the station
    Railman says you've got the the wrong location
    I got my bag, run right home
    Then I find I've got the number wrong

    Well she said she's trav'ling on the one after 909
    I said move over honey I'm traveling on that line
    I said move over once, move over twice
    Come on baby don't be cold as ice
    Said she's trav'ling on the one after 9-0
    Said she's trav'ling on the one after 9-0
    Said she's trav'ling on the one after 909

    The One
    Composer(s): Elton John - Bernie Taupin
    Performer(s): Elton John



    I saw you dancing out the ocean
    Running fast along the sand
    A spirit born of earth and water
    Fire flying from your hands

    In the instant that you love someone
    In the second that the hammer hits
    Reality runs up your spine
    And the pieces finally fit

    And all I ever needed was the one
    Like freedom fields where wild horses run
    When stars collide like you and I
    No shadows block the sun
    You're all I've ever needed
    Baby you're the one

    There are caravans we follow
    Drunken nights in dark hotels
    When chances breathe between the silence
    Where sex and love no longer gel

    For each man in his time is Cain
    Until he walks along the beach
    And sees his future in the water
    A long lost heart within his reach

    The Old Water Wheel
    Performer(s): Slim Whitman



    By the valley road
    The lilacs are growin'
    Around the mill
    With an old water wheel

    In his dusty coat
    The river sits dreamin'
    Of his true love
    The pretty Lucille

    The old water wheel
    Keeps turning and turning
    It seems to seize
    All the kisses it sees

    On the soft summer nights
    When the hearts were alive
    Making love to the sound
    Of the old water wheel

    In her eyes of blue
    True heaven made green
    And her hair was brown
    As the meadow lark's wing

    Every smile revealed
    White pearls, empty dreamin'
    And nature made her lips
    Just to sing

    But fate was unkind
    She sneaked neath the lilacs
    This dizzy world
    Keeps moving along

    But the old river seems
    To be lost in his dreams
    While the water wheel turns
    As it's singin' this song

    Lost in the song
    Of the old water wheel...

    The old water wheel
    The old water wheel

    The Old Violin
    Composer(s): Johnny Paycheck
    Performer(s): Johnny Paycheck



    Well, I can't recall, one time in my life
    I've felt as lonely as I do tonight
    I feel like I could lay down, and get up no more
    It's the damndest feelin'; I never felt it before

    Tonight I feel like an old violin
    Soon to be put away and never played again
    Don't ask me why I feel like this, hell, I can't say
    I only wish this feelin' would just go away

    I guess it's 'cos the truth
    Is the hardest thing I ever faced
    'Cos you can't change the truth
    In the slightest way
    I tried

    So I asked myself
    I said: "John, where'd you go from here?"
    Then like a damned fool
    I turned around and looked in the mirror

    And there I saw, an old violin
    Soon to be put away and never played again

    So one more time, just to be sure
    I said: "John, where in the hell do you go from here?"
    You know that when a nickel's worth of difference
    And I looked in the mirror, that's when I knew

    That there I was seein', an old violin
    Soon to be put away, and never played again

    And just like that, it hit me
    That old violin and I were just alike
    We'd give our all to music
    And soon, we'd give our life

    Candles burning, glasses are chilled and soon she'll be by
    Hope and pray she'll say that she's willing to give us another try
    And if all those plans I made don't melt the lady's heart
    I'll put on the old 45's
    And maybe the old songs will bring back the old times
    Maybe the old lines will sound new
    Maybe she'll lay her head on my shoulder
    Maybe old feelings will come through
    Maybe we'll start to cry and wonder why we ever walked away
    Maybe the old songs will bring back the old times and make her wanna stay
    It's been too long since I've seen her face light up when I come home
    It's been too many hours I've wasted staring at the phone
    Sweet old songs I'm counting on you to bring her back to me
    I'm tired of listening alone and maybe the old songs
    Will bring back the old times
    Maybe the old lines will sound new
    Maybe she'll lay her head on my shoulder
    Maybe old feelings will come through
    Maybe we'll start to cry and wonder why we ever walked away
    Maybe the old songs will bring back the old times and make her wanna stay

    First release by: Roy Rogers and Dale Evans - 1950
    Covered by multiple other artists



    On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross
    The emblem of suffering and shame
    And I love that old cross where the dearest and best
    For a world of lost sinners was slain

    So I'll cherish the old rugged cross
    Till my trophies at last I lay down
    I will cling to the old rugged cross
    And exchange it some day for a crown

    O that old rugged cross, so despised by the world
    Has a wondrous attraction for me
    For the dear Lamb of God left His glory above
    To bear it to dark Calvary

    So I'll cherish the old rugged cross
    Till my trophies at last I lay down
    I will cling to the old rugged cross
    And exchange it some day for a crown

    In that old rugged cross, stained with blood so divine
    A wondrous beauty I see
    For 'twas on that old cross Jesus suffered and died
    To pardon and sanctify me

    So I'll cherish the old rugged cross
    Till my trophies at last I lay down
    I will cling to the old rugged cross
    And exchange it some day for a crown

    To the old rugged cross I will ever be true
    Its shame and reproach gladly bear
    Then He'll call me some day to my home far away
    Where His glory forever I'll share

    So I'll cherish the old rugged cross
    Till my trophies at last I lay down
    I will cling to the old rugged cross
    And exchange it some day for a crown

    Composer(s): Fritz Kreisler - Dorothy Fields
    Performer(s): Grace Moore
    and multiple other artists



    I often think of home Dee-ol-ee-ay
    When I am all alone and far away
    I sing an old refrain, dee-ol-ee-ay
    For it recalls to me a bygone day

    It takes me back again to meadows fair
    Where sunlight's golden rays beam everywhere
    My childhood joys again come back to me
    My mother's face in fancy too I see

    It was my mother taught me how to sing
    And to that memory my heart will cling
    I'm never sad and alone while on my way
    As long as I can sing Dee-ol-ee-ay

    Though years have passed and gone, dee-ol-ee-ay
    And though my heart is young my head is grey
    Yet still the echoes ring, dee-ol-ee-ay
    And dear old memories forever stay

    This song will bring me visions full of light
    And sweetest dreams throughout the darkest night
    Of all that life can give, that song is best
    I'll take it with me when I go to rest

    And when at last my journey here is o'er
    'Twill ring more joyfully than e'er before
    For up to heavens I will take my lay
    The angels, too, will sing dee-ol-ee-ay

    I wanna hear it again, I wanna hear it again
    The Old Piano Roll Blues
    We're sittin' at an upright, my sweetie and me
    Pushin' on the pedals makin' sweet harmony
    When we hear rinkety-tink, and we hear Plinkety-plink
    We cuddle closer it seems
    And while we kiss kiss, kiss, kiss, away all our cares
    The player piano's playing razz-a-ma-tazz
    I wanna hear it again, I wanna hear it again
    The Old Piano Roll Blues

    But We, Played the Piano Roll Blues
    We sat there and began to play
    My sweetie and me
    We sat there pushing on the pedals making sweet harmony
    But we, cuddle closer it seems
    It seems just like a dreamin'
    While we kiss, kiss, kiss, our cares all away
    The player piano's playing razz-a-ma-tazz
    But we, wanna hear it again
    Those Piano Roll Blues

    I wanna hear it again, I wanna hear it again
    The Old Piano Roll Blues
    The Old Piano Roll Blues
    We sat there and began to play
    We're sittin' at an upright, my sweetie and me
    We sat there pushin' on the pedals makin' sweet harmony
    When we hear rinkety-tink, and we hear Plinkety-plink
    We cuddle closer it seems
    Cuddle closer it seems
    Its like a dreamin while we kiss kiss kiss away all our cares
    The player piano's playing razz-a-ma-tazz

    I wanna hear it again, just hear it again
    The Old Piano Roll Blues

    The Old Music Master
    Composer(s): Johnny Mercer - Hoagy Carmichael
    Performer(s): Hoagy Carmichael
    and multiple other artists



    One night long ago by the light of the moon
    An old music master sat composing a tune
    His spirit was soaring and his heart full of joy
    When right out of nowhere stepped a little coloured boy
    You gotta jump it, music master
    You gotta play that rhythm faster
    You're never gonna get it played
    On the Happy Cat Hit Parade
    You better tell your friend Beethoven
    And Mister Reginald De Koven
    They better do the same as you
    Or they're gonna be corny too
    Long about nineteen seventeen
    Jazz'll come upon the scene
    Then about nineteen thirty-five
    You'll begin to hear swing
    Boogie Woogie and Jive
    You gotta show that big broadcaster
    That you're a solid music master
    And you'll achieve posterity
    That's a bit of advice from me
    The old music master simply sat there amazed
    As wide-eyed and open-mouthed he gazed and he gazed
    How can you be certain little boy, tell me how?
    Because I was born, my friend
    A hundred years from now
    He hit a chord that rocked the spinet
    And disappeared into the infinite
    And up until the present day
    You can take it from me
    He's as right as can be
    Ev'rything has happened that-a-way

    The Old Master Painter
    Performer(s): Frank Sinatra
    and multiple other artists



    That old master painter from the faraway hills
    painted the violets and the daffodills
    He put the purple in the twilight haze
    then did a rainbow for the rainy days
    Dreamed up the murals on the blue summer skies
    painted the devil in my darlin's eyes
    Captured the dreamer with a thousand thrills
    The old master painter from the faraway hills
    Then came his masterpiece and when he was through
    He smiled down from heaven and he gave me you
    What a beautiful job on that wonderful day
    That old master painter from the hills far away

    Composer(s): Lew Brown - Victor Young
    Performer(s): Cab Calloway & His Orch.
    and multiple other artists



    With his long white beard and his crooked step
    He tramps along with the folks all left (?)
    With a twinkle in his eye he passes them by
    The old man of the mountain

    He wears long hair but his feet are bare
    They say he's mad as an old march hare
    His cares are none and he owes no one
    The old man of the mountain

    He talks with the birds when he's lonely
    Sleeps with the stars for a tent
    While the bees spread a feast when he's hungry
    And God charges no rent

    He'll live as long as an old oak tree
    And laugh at fools like you and me
    I often sigh and wish that I were
    The old man of the mountain

    With a long, white beard and a crooked stare
    He tramps along with the folks all scared
    With a twinkle in his eye, he passes them by
    The Old Man of the Mountain!
    Oh, he wears long hair and his feet are bare
    They say he's mad as a grizzly bear
    His cares are none and he fears no one
    The Old Man of the Mountain!
    He talks with the bears when he's lonely
    He sleeps with the sky for a tent
    And he'll eat you up when he's hungry
    And it wouldn't cost him a red cent!
    And he'll live as long as an old oak tree
    He'll eat up fools like you and me
    Oh, I often sigh and jump and cry
    At the Old Man of the Mountain!

    The Old Man No One Loves
    Composer(s): W. Asbill
    Performer(s): George Jones



    In a bar-room down in Georgia sits an old man
    His whiskers grey an' two or three days old
    You can tell he's dreaming up another story
    Just in case there's one he hasn't told

    There's a story that he tells about a woman
    And always says she was a Beauty Queen
    But it's said the Angels came for her one morning
    After that he just gave up on everything

    The Old Man No One Loves is what they call him
    The tales he tells are taller than the sky
    The Old Man No One Loves sure tells some big ones
    And everybody laughs and says, "You know that old man lies"

    There's the one he always tells about his children
    His son's a doctor up in Ohio
    His daughter owns a bank in California
    But he don't ever see them anymore

    The Old Man No One Loves is what they call him
    The tales he tells are taller than the sky
    The Old Man No One Loves sure tells some big ones
    And everybody laughs and says, "You know that old man lies"

    But you know, that old man no one loves, he died this mornin'
    The whole town was shocked by all those big limousines
    And all his children gathered round and they wept beside him
    And one cried out, "My Daddy's gone to meet his Beauty Queen"

    The Old Man No One Loves is what they call him
    The tales he tells are taller than the sky
    The Old Man No One Loves sure tells some big ones
    And everybody laughs and says, "You know that old man lies"

    The Old Man No One Loves is what they call him
    The tales he tells are taller than the sky
    The Old Man No One Loves sure tells some big ones
    And...
