Who The Cap Fit


Who The Cap Fit
Composer(s): Aston Barrett; Carlton Barrett
Performer(s): Bob Marley;
and various other artists



Man to man is so unjust, children
You don't know who to trust
Your worst enemy could be your best friend
And your best friend your worst enemy

Some will eat and drink with you
Then behind them su-su 'pon you
Only your friend know your secrets
So only he could reveal it
And who the cap fit, let them wear it (repeat)
Said I throw me corn, me no call no fowl
I saying, "cok-cok-cok, cluck-cluck-cluck"

Some will hate you, pretend they love you now
Then behind they try to eliminate you
But who Jah bless, no one curse
Thank God we're past the worse

Hypocrites and parasites
Will come up and take a bite
And if your night should turn to day
A lot of people would run away
And who the cap fit let them wear it (repeat)

And then a gonna trhow me corn
And then a gonna call no fowl
And then a gonna "Cok-cok-cok, cluck-cluck-cluck"

Some will eat and drink with you
And then behind them su-su 'pon you
And if your night should turn to day
A lot of people will run away
And who the cap fit, let them wear it (repeat)
I throw me corn, me no call no fowl
I saying "Cok-cok-cok, cluck-cluck-cluck"

Dance With Me Molly


Dance With Me Molly
Composer(s): Roger Bowling - Steve Tutsie
Performer(s): Roger Bowling
and multiple other artists



They say he's crazy
Pay him no mind
He loves a woman
That lives in his mind
They say a stranger
Came in one night
And left with his woman
And he lost his mind
When the band starts playin'
A song from yesterday
Ah, he'll look at the bottle
And here's what he'll say

Dance with me Molly
Their playin' our song
It's almost midnight
And time to go home
He sees yesterday's woman
In tonight's glass of wine
He says dance with me Molly..
Dance with me Molly..
Just one more time

He holds to the bottle
Like it wears his name
But if that makes him happy
Huh, it ain't no shame
So buy him a bottle
And he'll be o.k.
Put a quarter in the juke box
And you'll hear him say

Dance with me Molly
Their playin' our song
It's almost midnight
And time to go home
He sees yesterday's woman
In tonight's glass of wine
He says dance with me Molly..
Dance with me Molly..
Just one more time

Woh, dance with me Molly
Their playin' our song
It's almost midnight
And time to go home
He sees yesterday's woman
In tonight's glass of wine
He says dance with me Molly..
Dance with me Molly..
Just one more time

He says dance with me Molly..
Ahh, dance with me Molly..
Just one more time

All I Know


All I Know
Composer(s): Jimmy Webb
Performer(s): Art Garfunkel
and multiple other artists



I bruise you
You bruise me
We both bruise too easily
Too easily, to let it show
I love you and that's all I know

All my plans
Are falling through
All my plans depend on you
Depend on you, to help them grow
I love you and that's all I know

When the singer's gone, let the song go on

But the ending always comes at last
Endings always come too fast
They come too fast
But they pass too slow
I love you and that's all I know

When the singer's gone, let the song go on
It's a fine line between the darkness and the dawn
They say in the darkest night, there's a light beyond

But the ending always comes at last
Endings always come too fast
They come too fast
But they pass too slow
I love you and that's all I know
That's all I know
That's all I know-oh...oh-oh

Who Shot Sam


Who Shot Sam
Composer(s): Darrell Edwards; Ray Jackson; George Jones
Performer(s): George Jones;
Hammerlock; Wanda Jackson; Roger Miller



Well, I met Sammy Samson down in New Orleans
He had a lot of money and a big limousine
He took us honky-tonkin' on a Saturday night
We met Silly Milly, everything was all right
Her eyes started rollin', we should a-went a-bowlin'
Wham-bam, who shot Sam, my-my

Well, Sam and Silly Milly, about a quarter to four
Was rompin' and a-stompin' on the hardwood floor
Along came Flirty Mirty bargin' in on the fun
Silly Milly got jealous and she pulled out a gun
Tables started crashin', .44's a-flashin'
Wham-bam, who shot Sam, my-my

Well, the police, fire chief, highway patrol
Knockin' down the front door with a big long pole
Sammy was a lyin' on the cold-cold floor
Shot through the middle with a .44
Milly was a-cryin', Sam was surely dyin'
Wham-bam, who shot Sam, my-my

Well, they took Silly Milly to the jail down town
Booked Silly Milly for a-shootin' old Sam
The judge he gave her twenty, Milly said that's a lot
You shouldn't give me nothing, he was already half shot
A-drinkin' white lightnin' started all the fightin'
Wham-bam, who shot Sam, my-my

Well, the police, fire chief, highway patrol
Knockin' down the front door with a big long pole
Sammy was a lyin' on the cold-cold floor
Shot through the middle with a .44
Milly was a-cryin', Sam was surely dyin'
Wham-bam, who shot Sam, my-my

All I Have To Offer You Is Love


All I Have To Offer You Is Love
Composer(s): Craig Wiseman
Performer(s): Tanya Tucker; Dusty Springfield



If all you want’s a good time, baby
There’s a party down the street
If you’re trying to fight an old flame
Well, I can’t take the heat
If you’re looking for a game to play
Well, I wish you luck
’cause all I have to offer you is love

If you only want a keeper darling
I don’t hold the key
If you’re searching for a saviour better
Get down on your knees
If you’re looking for the answers, well
Hell I don’t know that much
’cause all I have to offer you is love

Oh darling, there’s a whole lot of things
I’ve found that I just can’t be, no I can’t
But if you’re looking for a real love, baby
I’ve got all that you’ll ever need
It might be more than you’re after
Or not nearly enough
But all I have to offer you is love

Oh darling, there’s a whole lot of things
I’ve found I just can’t be
But if you’re looking for a real love, baby
I’ve got all that you’ll ever need
It might be more than you’re after
Or not nearly enough, ahh
But all I have to offer you is love

Sweet love, baby
’cause all I got to offer you is love
Sweet love
Oh baby, sugar

(Who Says) You Can't Have It All
Composer(s): Alan Jackson; Jim McBride
Performer(s): Alan Jackson;
The Country Dance Kings; David West



A stark naked light bulb hangs over my head
There's one lonely pillow on my double bed
I've got a ceiling, a floor and four walls
Who says you cant have it all

My room's decorated with pictures of you
Your letters wallpaper this shrine to the blues
I've got precious memories at my beck and call
Who says you cant have it all

I've got everything a broken heart needs
I'm doing fine dont you worry about me
Cause I'm lord and master
Of a fools Taj Mahal
Who says you cant have it all

Oh who says you cant have it all

Who Said I Would?


Who Said I Would?
Composer(s): Phil Collins
Performer(s): Phil Collins



I know she says she wants me
I hear it every day
And I know she know it keeps me
Well there ain't no other way
But she's got a heart must be made of stone
Cos when I tell her that she'll miss me when I'm gone

She says
Who said I would
She knows it ain't easy for a simple boy like me
She fills me full of loving
Oh then she sets me free
But she's got a heart must be made of stone
Cos when I tell her that she'll miss me when I'm gone

She says
Who said I would, tell me, who said I would
Who said I would, who said I would

I'm not the only one but I do fine
I suit her purpose and I'm just her kind
I don't own her and I never could
Don't think I do, don't think I should

Tell me
Who said I would, who said I would

But she's got a heart must be made of stone
And when I tell her that she'll miss me when I'm gone

You're not the only one but you do fine
You suit my purpose and you're just my kind
I don't own me and you never could
Don't think you do, don't think you should

Who said I would (who said I would)
Now she knows when she calls me
I'll come running every time
And she knows she gets me hot
But she don't know it's her body not her mind

And she's got a heart must be made of stone
Cos when I tell her that she'll miss me when I'm gone
She says
Who said I would, tell me, who said I would
Who said I would, who said I would

Line, hum...
Line, hum...
Épris surtout
Par son regard si doux
Et son sourire
Qui vous attire
Et vous rend fou
Oh Line, hum...
Elle est belle et pourtant
Sous ses traits d'enfant
Elle sait très bien qu'elle est jolie
Et son coeur est content
Oh Line
Ses cheveux soyeux
Le rendent amoureux
Fou d'amour, il crie "je t'aime"
Line n'écoute pas
Ce coeur qui bat
Pour elle, il n'existe pas
Un jour viendra
Où il saura que l'amour n'est pas
Toujours comme ça
Mais pour l'instant, il est malheureux
Cela se lit dans ses yeux
Ses cheveux soyeux
Le rendent amoureux
Fou d'amour, il crie "je t'aime"
Line n'écoute pas
Ce coeur qui bat
Pour elle, il n'existe pas
Épris surtout
Par son regard si doux
Et son sourire
Qui vous attire
Et vous rend fou
Oh Line, hum...
Line, hum...
Line, hum...
Line, hum...

I'd like to thank the guy
Who wrote the song
That made my baby
Fall in love with me

Who put the bomp
In the bomp bah bomp bah bomp?
Who put the ram
In the rama lama ding dong?
Who put the bop
In the bop shoo bop shoo bop?
Who put the dip
In the dip da dip da dip?
Who was that man?
I'd like to shake his hand
He made my baby
Fall in love with me (yeah!!)

When my baby heard
"Bomp bah bah bomp"
"Bah bomp bah bomp bah bomp bomp"
Every word went right into her heart
And when she heard them singin'
"Rama lama lama lama"
"Rama ding dong"
She said we'd never have to part
So

Who put the bomp
In the bomp bah bomp bah bomp?
Who put the ram
In the rama lama ding dong?
Who put the bop
In the bop shoo bop shoo bop?
Who put the dip
In the dip da dip da dip?
Who was that man?
I'd like to shake his hand
He made my baby
Fall in love with me (yeah!!)

Each time that we're alone
Boogity boogity boogity
Boogity boogity boogity shoo
Sets my baby's heart all aglow
And everytime we dance to
Dip da dip da dip
Dip da dip da dip
She always says she loves me so
So

Who put the bomp
In the bomp bah bomp bah bomp?
Who put the ram
In the rama lama ding dong?
Who put the bop
In the bop shoo bop shoo bop?
Who put the dip
In the dip da dip da dip?
Who was that man?
I'd like to shake his hand
He made my baby
Fall in love with me (yeah!!)

"Darlin,' bomp bah bah bomp, bah bomp bah bomp bomp
And my honey, rama lama ding dong forever
And when I say, dip da dip da dip da dip
You know I mean it from the bottom of my boogity boogity boogity shoo"

All I Have Is A Song


All I Have Is A Song
Composer(s): Gary Rossington - Ronnie Van Zant
Performer(s): Lynyrd Skynyrd



These ol' white lines on the highway
Lord it's all I know
Seems like I've been out all my life
But I just can't let it go
Oh you know I ain't complainin'
'Cause I can tell, lord it's just your plan
So I thank you for what I have
And that's a song
All I have is a song

I keep thinkin' about the friends I've had
And all the meories we've shared
They keep comin' back, time and time again
Sometimes I wonder was it worth the cost
And all I've lost
Oh you know I ain't complainin'
Cause I can tell, lord it's just your plan
So I thank you for what I have
And that's a song
All I have is a song

So I play this song one more time, 'cause lord it's all I know
I'll be standin' at your door following along
'cause all I have is a song
And this song will live on

All I have is a song
A piece of me to live on

Who Paid The Rent For Mrs. Rip Van Winkle?


Who Paid The Rent For Mrs. Rip Van Winkle?
Composer(s): Fred Fischer; Alfred Bryan
Performer(s): Al Jolson;
and various other artists



Oh, oh, many years ago
Lived the wife of happy Rip Van Winkle
Oh, oh, she sent him away
As the little stars began to twinkle
All that he had he had under his hat
She was glad to see him go
So over the hills he went
Left her without a cent
One thing I'm anxious to know....

Who paid the rent for Mrs. Rip Van Winkle
When Rip Van Winkle went away?
And though he slept for twenty years
Who was it kissed away her tears?

She had no friends in the place
No one to embrace
But the landlord always left her with a smile on his face
Oh, who paid the rent for Mrs. Rip Van Winkle
When Rip Van Winkle went away?

C'mon, tell me!

Who paid the rent for Mrs. Rip Van Winkle
When Rip Van Winkle went away?
And though he slept for twenty years
Who was it kissed away her tears?

She never married again
She was lonesome but then
You'll always find a rooster
Lookin' round for a hen

Who paid the rent for Mrs. Rip Van Winkle
When Rip Van Winkle went away?

All I Have


All I Have
Composer(s): Sylvia Robinson - George Kerr
Performer(s): The Moments



All I have
Left in my heart
Is my love for you

Romance is over and through (Romance)
No longer and I supposed to think of you
Or of memories of happier times
When darling, I was yours and you were mine
‘Cause now you ask me girl to give you back

All that I have
Ooh, baby
All that I have

And all I have
Left in my heart
Is my love for you

How can you
Have the nerve to say
Go and find (Go and find) someone new

Sorry, sorry it has to end this way (To end)
But I don’t think that I could have gone through another day
Of knowing you don’t want me around
And knowing of this new love you’ve found
‘Cause now you ask me, girl, to give you back

All that I have
Ooh, baby

And all I have
Left in my heart
Is my love (Is my love) for you

And how can you
Have the nerve to say
Go and find (Go and find) someone new

Darling
If this is what you really want me to do
Then I’ll go out and try
To find someone new

Who Needs You?


Who Needs You?
Composer(s): Robert Allen; Al Stillman
Performer(s): The Four Lads;
and various other artists



Who needs you
To drive me out of my mind
Who needs you
I'd like to know
Who needs you
To give me chills when I'm well
How fast can a helpless heart go

I know dear, I love you more than a lot
But oh! What I've got to go through
And so dear, I guess the answer is simply
Who needs you, I do!

(chorus)
Each time we kiss goodnight
I find that I get so excited
I can't sleep at night
I've lost my appetite

No appetite, no sleep at night ...

I know dear, I love you more than a lot
But oh! What I've got to go through
And so dear, I guess the answer is simply
Who needs you ... who needs you ... I do!!

All I Ever Wanted


All I Ever Wanted
Performer(s): Santana



Well I told you `bout your attitude
And it didn't do me any good
'Cause you took your love away
Left me here alone with all this lonely heartache

There are places I remember
Where the ladies still are tender
Against you they can't compare
Baby we've just got to get it back together

All I ever wanted was to be with you
All I ever wanted was to be with you

I just got to get it through to you
That my loving heart is ever true
Please come back to where you belong
Girl you got to know I'll never do you wrong

All I ever wanted was to be with you
All I ever wanted was to be with you
Yeah you
Oh oh

All I ever wanted was to be with you
All I ever wanted was to be with you

Well I told you `bout your attitude
And it didn't do me any good
`Cause you took your love away

All I ever wanted was to be with you
All I ever wanted was to be with you
All I ever wanted was to be with you
All I ever wanted was to be with you
You!

Who Needs Ya?


Who Needs Ya?
Composer(s): Larry Byrom; John Kay
Performer(s): Steppenwolf



Well, it's sunrise on the freeway as I get back from town
Find you standin' in my boots, kicking my dog around
Empty bottles on the floor
Enough to build a monument
Then you've got the nerve to tell me
Somebody took the rent

Who needs ya'? Think about it baby, who needs you?
Now you can save your lip, just pack your grip
And leave a trail of smoke behind you
Who needs ya'? Can you tell me baby, who needs you?
Who needs you? Think about it baby
Well, who needs you? Can you tell me please?

Last week you pulled another of your tricks
You let your brother move in here with a herd of freaks
They ate us out of house and home
Turned this place into a sty
Darlin' by tomorrow you'll be eatin' humble pie

Repeat Chorus

All I Ever Need Is You


All I Ever Need Is You
Composer(s): Jimmy Holiday - Eddie Reeves
First release by: Ray Charles - 1971
Covered by multiple other artists



Sometimes when I'm down and all alone
just like a child without a home
the love you give me keeps me hangin' on
awww honey, all I ever need is you

You're my first love you're my last
you're my future, you're my past
and loving you is all I ask
aww honey, all I ever need is you

Winters come and they go
and we watch the melting snow
but sure as summer follows spring
all the things you do
give me a reason to spend me life
around you.......

Some men follow rainbows I am told
some men search for silver, some for gold
but I have found my treasure in your soul
my honey, all I ever need is you........

Who Needs To Dream?


Who Needs To Dream?
Composer(s): Artie Butler; Jack Feldman;
Barry Manilow; Bruce Sussman
Performer(s): Barry Manilow;
Franc d'Ambrosio; Christiane Noll; Gary Wilmot



You were in my dreams
Always in my dreams
That was long before
I ever saw you standing there
When I felt afraid
Of the choice I made
I would close my eyes
And hope my dreams would comfort me
But now I'm free

Who needs to dream when there is you?
Who needs a heaven to look forward to?
For my whole life through
Who needs to dream?
You're my dream come true

In my fantasy
You believed in me
And as long as you were there
Then I believed in me
Now suddenly

Who needs to dream when there is you?
Who needs a heaven to look forward to?
For my whole life through
Who needs to dream?
You're my dream come true

Now you are my dream
You are my only dream
I'll hold you in my heart forever
Who needs to dream?
Who needs to dream?
When I see you there
Then I see my every dream come true

Who needs to dream when there is you?
Who needs a heaven?
For my whole life through
Who needs to dream?
You're my dream come true
Every dream
All come true
My dream come true!

All I Ever Need


All I Ever Need
Composer(s): Jack Sawyer
Performer(s): Helen Reddy; Johnny Mathis



To wake up next to you
See your smile across the pillow
As the sun breaks through
In the early hours when the day is new
To lie by you
That's all I ever need

And when I go away
I know there's nothing in the world
Could ever make me stay
Part of you is there with me
Throughout the day
To feel that way
That's all I ever need

Thats all I ever need
To hold you as the world beyond the skies
To realize the promise in your eyes
That's all I ever need

To come back home to you
To know you'll warm me with your love
The way you always do
In the gentle hours when the day is through
Alone with you
That's all I ever need

Thats all I ever need
To hold you as the world beyond the skies
To realize the promise in your eyes
That's all I ever need

In the gentle hours when the day is through
Alone with you
That's all I ever need
That's all I ever need
