All Around My Hat
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

Whiskey In The Jar
Composer(s): Phil Lynott; Eric Bell; Brian Downey
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

All Around Man
Composer(s): Bo Carter
First release by: Bo Carter - 1936
Covered by multiple other artists
I ain`t no doctor, I ain`t no doctor`s son
But I`ll fill your prescription
Till the real doctor comes
Till the real doctor comes
I ain`t no sailor, ain`t no sailor`s son
But I`ll be your navigator
Till the marines hit town
Till the marines hit town
I`m a handyman, an all around man
I`m a handyman, all around man
And when your husband comes
That`s when the handyman`s gonna scram
I ain`t the DA, ain`t the DA`s son
But I`ll talk to the jury
And I`ll see justice done
Handyman, I`m a handyman
An all around man, all around man
I ain`t no astronaut
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
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
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
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
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

All American Girls
Composer(s): Joni Sledge - Narada Michael Walden - Lisa Walden - Allee Willis
Performer(s): Sister Sledge
We’re all American girls
And we love that life that we lead
We’re all American girls
Hear what we say, know what we mean
We’re all American girls
And we love that life that we lead
We’re all American girls
Hear what we say, know what we mean
The day has finally come
We’re reachin’ out for number one
We’ve worked hard all of our lives
It’s a fight just to survive
You’d better get this straight
Wise up before it’s too late
We’re not threatened by your lies
Or your good byes
We’re all American girls
And we love that life that we lead
We’re all American girls
Hear what we say, know what we mean
We’re all American girls
And we love that life that we lead
We’re all American girls
Hear what we say, know what we mean
Sometimes the struggle gets rough
You give your all, but it’s not enough
A vacant job at the top
Don’t let ‘em tell you that right you’re not
We’re not asking to reverse
Roles so long rehearsed
Give us an equal share
That’s just fair
We’re all American girls
And we love that life that we lead
We’re all American girls
Hear what we say, know what we mean
We’re all American girls
And we love that life that we lead
We’re all American girls
Hear what we say, know what we mean
All American
All American girls
All American
All American
We’re all American girls (All American)
And we love (Hey) that life that we lead (Wise up before it’s too late)
We’re all American girls
Hear what we say, know what we mean (Whoa, whoa, whoa)
We’re all (Yeah) American girls
And we love that life that we lead (‘Cause)
We’re all American girls
Hear what we say, know what we mean (Yeah)
We’re all American girls (Hey...hey...)
And we love that life that we lead (Wise up before it’s too late)
We’re all American girls
Hear what we say, know what we mean (Yeah...hea...hea...)

Whip It
Whip It
Composer(s): Gerald V. Cassale; Mark Mothersbaugh
Performer(s): Devo;
and various other artists
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
All American Alien Boy
Composer(s): Ian Hunter
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 ...
Ten Bears, Two Bears, Standing Bear, Plenty Bear
Old Bear, Brave Bear, Hollow Horn Bear
Silver Knife, Spotted Tail, Yellow Hand, Red Cloud
Red Fox, Red Horse, Black Kettle
White Ghost, White Bull, White Thunder, White Hog
hold on a minute gotta frog in my throat
Cochise, Alchise, Roman Nose, Geronimo - hold on a minute - more to go
Sitting Bull, Tall Bull, Crazy Horse and Short Bull
Low Dog, Red Dog, Yellow Wolf, Low Wolf
Loco, Victorio, Chato, Little Crow, Dead Eyes, Jak, Taza 'n Colorow
My mouth's exploiting that's enough of this noise
I guess we're all - All American Alien Boys

While We're Young
While We're Young
Composer(s): Alec Wilder; Morty Palitz; Bill Engvick
Performer(s): Peggy Lee
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
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"
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

All Alone In Vienna
All Alone In Vienna
Composer(s): Lewis Ilda - Leo Towers - Morton Morrow
Performer(s): Vera Lynn
All alone in Vienna
In that old rendezvous
There's the same old moon on high
Oh, Why must I be here without you
All alone in Vienna
Where we sang love's refrain
In this city of romance
Have we no chance of meeting again
Two lonely hearts I see
Carved on the linden tree
Do you still think of me
While I'm alone
All alone in Vienna
With a prayer in my heart
But some day we'll meet again
And then remain together sweetheart

While You See A Chance
While You See A Chance
Composer(s): Winwood; Jennings
Performer(s): Joe Cocker
Stand up in a clear blue morning
until you see what can be
alone in a cold day dawning
are you still free, can you be
when some cold tomorrow finds you
when some sad old dream reminds you
how the endless road unwinds you
when there's no one left to leave you
even you don't quite believe you
and that old grey wind is blowing
and there's nothing left worth knowing
while you see a chance take it
find romance, fake it
because it's all on you

All Alone In California
All Alone In California
Composer(s): Dan Hill
Performer(s): Dan Hill
He caught her signal
As she strolled in the bar
Amidst all the lonely people
Out to prove they're popular
And he came upon her slowly
Not sure of what to say
Trying to sound clever - but words got in the way
Conversation wandered -
Though their eyes seldom met
They both knew what they were after
And they played it step by step
And his mind was getting foggy
The drinks were coming fast
Momentary friendship - with no future and no past
All alone in California
Looking for some fun
His eyes were feeling heaving
He kind of wished that he could run
The colours started spinning
As she kissed away his doubts
The night was just beginning
As his body began to melt…
She watched the sunrise
While he slept in dreams unknown
And she wondered what his name was
Though she barely knew her own
And she slowly started crying
Though she wasn't white sure why
Trying to fight an emptiness
That haunted her insides
All alone in California
Looking for some fun
His eyes were feeling heaving
He kind of wished that he could run
The colours started spinning
As she kissed away his doubts
The night was just beginning
As his body began to melt…

While The Stars In The Heavens Shine On
While The Stars In The Heavens Shine On
Composer(s): Harry D. Kerr; Henry W. Petrie
Heart of my heart you seem, dear
to doubt that my love is true
Sometimes I think you feel, dear
It may not all be for you
Doubt that the sun is shining, doubt that the sky is blue
doubt the whole world, if you will, dear
but doubt not my love for you
Birds to their mates are singing, the song that they love to hear
each flow'r with sweetend perfume, speaks love to the one that's near
soul speaks to soul, the answer never has yet been wrong
this is love's message to you, dear, and this is my own love song
While the stars in heaven shine on!
While the warm summer sun greets the dawn
the love that I give, will grow stronger and live
till the light of the world will be gone!
With a heart that shall beat just for you
all my vows every day I'll renew tho' the ocean may dry
love like mine shall not die while the stars in the heavens shine on!
