Will The Angels Play Their Harps For Me?
Will The Angels Play Their Harps For Me?
Composer(s): D. White; Hirsch
Performer(s): Josef Locke
I was passing by the churchyard in the city
and I saw a beggar old and grey
With his hands outstretched he asked the folks for pity
and it made me sad to hear him say
Oh I wonder, yes I wonder, will the angels way up yonder
will the angels play their harps for me?
For my heart is growing dreary and my feet are growing weary
Will the angels play their haprs for me?
Oh a million miles I've travelled, and a million sights I've seen
and I'm ready for the glory soon to be
Oh I wonder, yes I wonder, will the angels way up yonder
will the angels play their harps for me?
Oh I wonder, yes I wonder, will the angels way up yonder
will the angels play their harps for me?
Oh my heart is growing dreary, and my feet are growing weary
will the angels play their harps for me?
Oh a million miles I've travelled, and a million sights I've seen
and I'm ready for the glory soon to be
Oh I wonder yes, I wonder, will the angels way up yonder
will the angels play their harps for me?
Will the angels play their harps for me?

All The Young Punks (New Boots And Contracts)
All The Young Punks (New Boots And Contracts)
Composer(s): Strummer - Jones
Performer(s): The Clash
Hanging about
down the market street
I spent a lot of time on my feet
When I saw some passing yabbos
We did chance to speak
I knew how to sing
y' know an
They knew how to pose
An' one of them had a Les Paul
Heart attack machine
All the young punks
Laugh your life
Cos there ain't much to cry for
All the young cunts
Live it now
Cos there ain't much to die for
Everybody wants to bum
A ride on the rock 'n' roller coaster
And we went out
Got our name in small print on the poster
Of course we got a manger
Though he ain't the mafia
A contract is a contract
When they get 'em out on yer
You gotta drag yourself to work
Drag yourself to sleep
You're dead from the neck up
By the middle of the week
Face front you got the future shining
Like a piece of gold
But I swear as we get closer
It look more like a lump of coal
But it's better than some factory
Now that's no place to waste your youth
I worked there for a week once
I luckily got the boot

Will The Angels Let Me Play
Will The Angels Let Me Play
Composer(s): Fred E. Gladdish; W.L. Werden
Performer(s): George Morgan
In the yard where children
Were playing games one day
A little boy on crutches
Was watching wistfully*
It seemed so hard he couldn't play
Like other children do
They said that he would spoil their games
And was a baby too
When I go to heaven momma
Will the angels let me play
Because I'm just a cripple
Will they say I'm in the way
Here the children never want me
I'm a bother they all say
When I go to heaven mommy
Will the angels let me play
Now this little fellows heart was breaking in two
Just because the rest of the kids
Wouldn't let him play
And as he hobbled to his mom on his crutches
With his eyes full of tears
She heard her little cripple boy say
Gosh mommy I'm so awfully tired
And then he bowed his little head
Won't you rock me just a little bit mom
Before I have to go to bed
And gee how I wish daddy would come home
Before I go to sleep
Will you tell him how I waited and waited
For so long mom
For his kiss on my little cheek
And then that night
When all was still and silent
A band of angels came that way
And they took this little fellow up to heaven
Where he'll never never have to say
Mom when I go up to heaven
Won't the angels let me play
Or maybe because I'm just a kid on crutches
They'll say I'm in the way
You know Mom here the rest kids never want me
I'm a bother they all say
So when I go up to heaven mom
Don't you think that maybe
Just maybe
The angels will let me play
When I go to heaven momma
Will the angels let me play

Will Love Ever Come My Way
Will Love Ever Come My Way
Composer(s): Dion DiMucci; Wes Farrell
Performer(s): Dion; The Mystics
It seems the whole world wants to turn their backs on me
Can't seem to find someone to give a little love to me
(La la la la la la ooo)
Wonderin' just what to do, wonderin' just where to go
Waiting here all alone, waiting for love to show
Will love ever ever come my way?
Looking for someone's love, looking so hard I cry
Wanting someone to care, wanting as time goes by
Will love ever ever come my way?
I'm just like a lonely drifter, I'm goin' on my way
Hoping that I will find love someday, some way
Dreaming of love & fun, dreaming the long nights through
Wishing on stars above, wishing sounds sad but true
Will love ever ever come my way?
(La la la la la la ooo)

All The World Will Be Jealous Of Me
All The World Will Be Jealous Of Me
Composer(s): Al Dubin - Ernest R. Ball
I was jealous and hurt
When your lips kissed a rose
Or your eyes from my own chanced to stray
I have tried all in vain
Many times to propose
Now at last I've found courage to say
Let's suppose that the lips I found kissing a rose
Were to tell me to look in your eyes
if I'd find there a light that for me only glows
More and more would my heart realize
The roses all envy the bloom on your cheek
And the sun even envies your smile
The birds in the wildwood are stilled when you speak
Their songs don't seem half worth the while
The light in your eyes makes the bright stars grow pale
They're jealous as jealous can be
But when one word or sign tells them all you are mine
All the world will be jealous of me!

Like other lovers do
But let’s cross our hearts and hope to die
If none of them come true ’cause

Will I Make It Through The Eighties?
Will I Make It Through The Eighties?
Composer(s): Julie Brown; Coffy
Performer(s): Julie Brown
Time to get up, but I can't move
What did I do last night
Am I home, are these my clothes
I hope my car's alright
At least it's Sunday—no, it's Monday
I better call in dead
Well, I might get by, but I'm so burnt
I can't get out of bed
Will I make it through the eighties
I-I-I don't know
Will I make it through the eighties
A-tumbling like a domino
Will I make it through the eighties
Hope so
Thirty-two steps from here to downstairs
I step on a cat, trip over a chair
Nothing in the fridge, nothing on TV
Well, Sylvia Plath's got nothing on me
Dig through the ashtrays, and light up a butt
Sitting here looking like I don't know what
Bit off more than my mind could chew
Shower or suicide, what do I do
Will I make it through the eighties
I-I-I don't know
Will I make it through the eighties
A-tumbling like a domino
Will I make it through the eighties
Hope so
Time to grow up, start living right
Stop sleeping all day, playing all night
Enough is enough, gonna do it or die
Is that the phone ringing—"Oh, Steve honey, hi
A concert tonight—yeah, that sounds great
But I burned myself out, I can't stay out that late
No, I mean it this time, I'm taking it slow
Got a backstage pass—alright, let's go"
Will I make it through the eighties
I-I-I don't know
Will I make it through the eighties
A-tumbling like a domino
Will I make it through the eighties
Wind me up and watch me go
Will I make it through the eighties
Hope so

All The World Is Love
All The World Is Love
Composer(s): Clarke - Hicks - Nash
Performer(s): The Hollies
In my secluded state my mind
Valued things are hard to find
My mind's gone I know not where
left without a care
When my thoughts are taking flight
pen them down on sheets of white
Building castles in the air
left without a care
In a crowded room alone that's where you'll find me
I have left my mind somewhere floating behind me
Blue skies white clouds to be seen
wish my mind could be as clean
As the clouds that swim above
all the world is love
Bubbles forming all around
Left my body on the ground
Unattached too hard to move
All the world is love
All the world is love
All the world is love

Yes we will, yes we will
Eat up ev'rything inside

Wildwood Weed
Wildwood Weed
Composer(s): Don Bowman; Jim Stafford
Performer(s): Jim Stafford;
The New Lost City Ramblers; Phish
The wildwood flower grew wild on the farm
And we never knowed what it was called
Some said it was a flower and some said it was weed
I never gave it much thought ......
One day I was out there talking to my brother
Reached down for a weed to chew on
Things got fuzzy and things got blurry
And then everything was gone!
Didn't know what happened
But I knew it beat the hell out of sniffin' burlap
I come to and my brother was there
And he said, What's wrong with your eyes?
I said, I don't know, I was chewing on a weed
He said, Let me give it a try
We spent the rest of that day and most of that night
Trying to find my brother, Bill
Caught up with him, 'bout six o'clock the next morning
Naked, swinging on the wind mill!
He said he flew up there
I had to fly up there and bring him down
He was about half crazy .....
The very next day we picked a bunch of them weeds
And put 'em in the sun to dry
Then we mashed 'em up and chopped 'em up
And put 'em in the corncob pipe
Smokin' that wildwood flower got to be a habit
We didn't see no harm
We thought it was kind of handy
Take a trip and never leave the farm!
All good things gotta come to an end
And it's the same with the wildwood weed
One day this feller from Washington came by
And he spied and turned white as a sheet
Then they dug and they burned
And they burned and they dug
And they killed all our cute little weeds
Then they drove away
We just smiled and waved ..........
Sittin' there on that sack of seeds!
Y'all come back now, hear?

Wildwood Flower
Composer(s): A.P. Carter
Performer(s): The Carter Family;
and various other artists
Oh, I'll twine with my mingles and waving black hair
With the roses so red and the lilies so fair
And the myrtles so bright with emerald dew
The pale and the leader and eyes look like blue
Oh, I'll dance, I will sing and my laugh shall be gay
I will charm ev'ry heart, in his crown I will sway
When I woke from my dreaming, idols were clay
All portions of love then had all flown away
Oh, he taught me to love him and promised to love
And to cherish me over all others above
How my heart now is wond'ring misery can tell
He's left me no warning, no words of farewell
Oh, he taught me to love him and called me his flow'r
That was blooming to cheer him through life's dreary hour
Oh, I'm longing to see him through life's dark hour
He's gone and neglected this pale wildwood flower

All The Weary Mothers Of The Earth
All The Weary Mothers Of The Earth
((Spanish Version: Las Madres Cansadas (by Joan Baez))
Composer(s): Joan Baez
Performer(s): Joan Baez
All the weary mothers of the earth will finally rest
We will take their babies in our arms and do our best
When the sun is low upon the field
To love and music they will yield
And the weary mothers of the earth shall rest
And the farmer on his tractor and beside his plow
Will stand there in confusion as we wet his brow
With the tears of all the businessmen
Who see what they have done to him
And the weary farmers of the earth shall rest
And the aching workers of the world again shall sing
These words in mighty choruses to all will bring
"We shall no longer be the poor
For no one owns us anymore"
And the workers of the world again shall sing
And when the soldiers burn their uniforms in every land
The foxholes at the borders will be left unmanned
General, when you come for the review
The troops will have forgotten you
And the men and women of the earth shall rest

Composer(s): Joan Baez
Performer(s): Joan Baez
Cada madre agobiada ya descansará
Y en nuestros brazos sus criaturas reposarán
Cuando el sol se pone, sobre el campo
Amor y música les brindaremos
Y las madres cansadas ya descansarán
Y el campesino con su arado y su tractor
En la frente la extraña frescura sentirá
De las lágrimas de pena
Derramadas por los comerciantes
Y los agricultores ya descansarán
Los trabajadores dolientes de la tierra
Otra vez el himno tan resonante cantarán
¡Ya no seremos los pobres!
¡Ya no viviremos en esclavitud!
Y los trabajadores luego cantarán
Cuando los soldados sus garitas dejarán
Y en las trincheras sus uniformes quemarán
O mi general, tus fieles tropas
Ya se habrán olvidado de ti
¡Y la gente del mundo ya descansará!
