Why Build A Wall 'Round A Graveyard?
Why Build A Wall 'Round A Graveyard?
Composer(s): Leslie Sarony
Performer(s): Leslie Sarony;
and various other artists
Here's a contortionist, Filleted Pete
Tried only too well to make both his ends meet
Charlie the taximan lies over there
Wherever he's gone to, he'll say it's "No Fare"
Here lies a heavyweight under the ground
With a circular saw only lasted one round
Here lies a butcher named Timothy Wights
A nice piece of skirt quickly put out his lights
R - I - P, that's another good feller gone west
R - I - P, with a blinkin' great slab on his chest
So......
Why build a wall 'round a graveyard
When nobody wants to get in?
Why build a wall round a graveyard
When nobody wants to get out?
They say its a beautiful haven of rest
But you know that you'll be a permanent guest
So, why build a wall round a graveyard
When nobody wants to get in?
Why build a wall round a graveyard
When no body wants to get in?
Why build a wall round a graveyard
When no body wants to get out?
"You're not dead but sleeping", they put it with care
But no body calls you at nini o'clock there
So, why build a wall round a graveyard
When no body wants to get out?

Vietnam Blues
Vietnam Blues
Composer(s): Kris Kristofferson
Performer(s): Dave Dudley; Autry Inman; Robert Pete Williams
I was out on the leave at the time just duckin' the fog nosin' around like a hungry dog
In that crazy place called Washington DC
I saw a crowd of people on the White House lawn all carrying signes about VietNam
So I went over to see what was goin' on
It was a strange looking bunch but then I never could understand some people
Oh a fellow came to me with a list in his hand he said we're gatherin' names to send
The telegram of sympathy then he handed me a pen
I said I reckon this is goin' to kids and wives
My friends over there who're givin' their lives
He said ah ah buddy this is goin' to Ho-Chi-Min
I said Ho-Chi who he said Ho-Chi-Min people's leader North VietNam
Oh I wasn't really sure I was hearin' him right
I though I'd better move before I got in a fight
Cause my ears were hurtin' and my ball started hit my lick
Then I thought of another telegram that I've just read
Tellin' my buddy's wife that her husband was dead
It wasn't too long till I was feelin' downright sick
Another held the sign that said we won't fight
I thought to myself boy ain't that right
To leave a lot of our soldiers die instead
I said it's a shame that every man who ever died up there that far off land
Was dyin' for that you wouldn't have to wake up dead
Course he looked at me like I was kinda crazy just another warmonger
Oh I left that place and I went downtown and hit first bar that I'd found
To cool myself off and pacify my brain
You see I was on orders to VietNam little old place just north to Saigon
Had about an hour to catch myself a plane
So all I mean to say is I don't like dyin' either but man I ain't gonna craw

Why Baby Why
Why Baby Why
Composer(s): Darrell Edwards; George Jones; Leon Payne
Originally performed by: George Jones
Covered by various other artists
Tell me why baby, why baby, why baby, why
You make me cry baby, cry baby, cry baby, cry
I can't help but love you 'til the day that I die
But tell me, why baby, why baby, why baby, why
Well I got a crow I wanna pick with you
Just like last time when the feathers flew
You're runnin' wild a-kickin' up your heels
A-leavin' me home with a hand full of bills
I can't live without you and you know it's true
But there's no livin' with you, so what'll I do
I'm goin' honky tonkin', get as tight as I can
And maybe by then you'll 'preciate a good man
Tell me why baby, why baby, why baby, why
You make me cry baby, cry baby, cry baby, cry
No, I can't help but love you 'til the day that I die
So tell me why baby, why baby, why baby, why
Well, now I don't know, but I've heard say
That ev'ry little dog is a-gonna have his day
You'd better pay attention, don't you dare forget
'Cause I'm just a little bitty puppy yet
Well, I caught you honky tonkin' with my best friend
The thing to do was leave you, but I should'a left then
Now I'm too old to leave you, but I still get sore
When you come home a-feelin' for the knob on the door
Tell me why baby, why baby, why baby, why
You make me cry baby, cry baby, cry baby, cry
Lord, I can't help but love you 'til the day that I die
So tell me, why baby, why baby, why baby, why
Tell me, why baby, why baby, why baby, why

All My Love (Al Jolson)
All My Love
Composer(s): Harry Akst - Saul Chaplin - Al Jolson
Performer(s): Al Jolson
All my love is for you alone
It will still keep growing when most other loves have flown!
All my love is for ever new
It was just created, my dear, to be shared with you!
As the years unfold, they can only bring
Just the constant joy of an endless Spring
And our dreams untold that are so ideal
Will all fade as we make them real!
I promise this by the stars above
Hear that I'll spend my life giving you all my love!
All my love is for you alone
It will still keep growing when most other loves have flown!
All my love is for ever new
It was just created, my dear, to be shared with you!

Why (Tina Charles)
Why
Composer(s): Appaiah Biddu
Performer(s): Tina Charles
Why does my heart feel this way
Everytime you walk by it's always
The same oh why do I tremble with it
Send a shiver through my skin
Is this how loves begins why
Does this feeling exists I'm unable
To resist what's happening to me
Why do I feel so alike and our being makes
Me rise by the stars in your eyes
I can't stop don't wanna stop what's going
Through me like a kitten up a tree want you
come and rescue me
Why does this feeling accured it is something
You start deep within me
Oh why do I trip on more time give a certains
I am dying now I know your why
Why does my heart beat his way everytime you
Walk by it's always the same
Oh why do I tremble with it send a shiver
Through my skin is this how loves begins

All My Life (Uriah Heep)
All My Life
Composer(s): Mick Box - David Byron - Lee Kerslake
Performer(s): Uriah Heep
I had a little look
For a minute today
And I told there was something
That I wanted to say
Just sitting there glowing
With her red light on
So I've gotta make fast
And it shouldn't take long
Maybe she will
Maybe she won't
We can get it so together
If she doesn't say don't
I've never ever thought
I was looking for a wife
But I think I could love her
For the rest of my life
I only took one ‘cause
I couldn't take two
I wanna make love
And it's gotta be you
Every little thing that
I ever tried to say
Is coming out right
In my own kinda way
Take it, make it
It really feels fine
She must be Lady Luck
If she's gonna be mine
I will love you all my life

Am I really here in your arms
Its just like I dreamed it would be
I feel like we're frozen in time
And you're the only one I can see

All my Life for you
And now you're here

Asked for a little help from above
Send that angel down to me

Hey, I've spent
All my Life with you
All my Life
I never thought that I could feel a love so tender
I never thought I could let those feelings show
But now my heart is on my sleeve
and this love will never leave

Hold my love

Whose Shoulder Will You Cry On
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...

Oh don’t be shy
Who’s you sweetie pie
Who’s the little ickle
That you love to slap and tickle
Tell me, whose little whats-it are you
Whose little coochie-coo
Here’s a gal who’s looking for a pal
Whose little whats-it are you

All My Hard Times
All My Hard Times
Composer(s): Joe South
Performer(s): Roy Drusky; Joe South
All of my hard times soon be over
All of my hard times soon be over
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...
All of my hard times soon be over
All of my hard times soon be over
I was raised in a two room shack
the only thing I owned was hanging on my back
Been in trouble, thrown in jail
I had nobody to draw my bail, but...
All of my hard times soon be over
All of my hard times soon be over
I been lost, but now I'm found
There ain't no way to keep a good man down
You came along and took my hand
And now I feel like a newborn man and...
All of my hard times soon be over
All of my hard times soon be over
All of my hard times soon be over
All of my hard times soon be over

Who's Zoomin' Who?
Composer(s): Narada Michael Walden;
Preston Glass; Aretha Franklin
Performer(s): Aretha Franklin
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)

Melts your little heart like butter
Oh me, oh my

Who you thinking of
Who's your little who-zis
Who do you love

All My Dreams
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

You're the only one my eyes can see
And let me say, in ev'ry way, you're dynamite
Do you know how good you really are?
Please don't let her stray away, I pray each night
Can't stop now, it's been so good so far
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Who's the one you love?
You're the only one for me
(Ah, who's your baby?) Who's your baby?
Who's you dreamin' of?
You're the only one my eyes can see
And upon opening your eyes when morning comes
What's the very first thing on your mind?
If you had enough, hey, won't you give me some
And would a thank-you to you do you fine?
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Who's your baby in the mornin'?
Who's your baby at night?
Who do you want when you want somebody to come and hold you tight?
Oh
Who's your baby?
Who's the one you love?
You're the only one for me
(Ah, who's your baby?) Who's your baby?
Who's you dreamin' of?
You're the only one my eyes can see
Who's your baby in the mornin'?
Who's your baby at night?
Who do you want when you want somebody to come and hold you tight?

All My Children Of The Sun
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
