    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

    The Old Refrain (What Shall Remain?)
    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

    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

    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

    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...

    First recording: Kay Kyser & his Orch. - 1946
    Covered by multiple other artists



    He made the night a little brighter
    Wherever he would go
    The old lamplighter
    Of long, long ago
    His snowy hair was so much whiter
    Beneath the candle glow
    The old lamplighter
    Of long, long ago

    You'd hear the patter of his feet
    As he came toddling down the street
    His smile would cheer a lonely heart you see
    If there were sweethearts in the park
    He'd pass a lamp and leave it dark
    Remembering the days that used to be
    For he recalled when things were new
    He loved someone who loved him too
    Who walks with him alone in memories

    He made the night a little brighter
    Wherever he would go
    The old lamplighter
    Of long, long ago
    His snowy hair was so much whiter
    Beneath the candle glow
    The old lamplighter
    Of long, long ago

    Now if you look up in the sky
    You'll understand the reason why
    The little stars at night are all aglow
    He turns them on when night is near
    He turns them off when dawn is here
    The little man we left so long ago
    He made the night a little brighter
    Wherever he would go
    The old lamplighter of long, long ago

    The Old Dope Peddler
    Composer(s): Tom Lehrer
    Performer(s): Tom Lehrer



    You are no doubt familiar with songs about the old lamplighter
    and the old umbrella man and the old garbage collector and all
    these lovable old characters who go around spreading sweetness
    and light to their respective communities
    But, it's always seemed to me that there is one member of this happy band who does an equally splendid job
    but who has never been properly recognized in song or story
    and this is an attempt to remedy, at least in part, that deplorable situation

    When the shades of night are falling
    Comes a fellow everyone knows
    It's the old dope peddler
    Spreading joy wherever he goes

    Every evening you will find him
    Around our neighborhood
    It's the old dope peddler
    Doing well by doing good

    He gives the kids free samples
    Because he knows full well
    That today's young innocent faces
    Will be tomorrow's clientele

    Here's a cure for all your troubles
    Here's an end to all distress
    It's the old dope peddler
    With his powdered happiness

    Come a ti yi yippee, come a ti yi yea
    Come a ti yi yippee, come a ti yi yea

    I wake in the mornin' afore daylight
    And afore I sleep the moon shines bright

    Come a ti yi yippee, come a ti yi yea
    Come a ti yi yippee, come a ti yi yea

    It's cloudy in the west, a-lookin' like rain
    And my durned old slicker's in the wagon again

    Come a ti yi yippee, come a ti yi yea
    Come a ti yi yippee, come a ti yi yea

    No chaps, no slicker, and it's pourin' down rain
    And I swear, by gosh, I'll never night-herd again

    Come a ti yi yippee, come a ti yi yea
    Come a ti yi yippee, come a ti yi yea

    Feet in the stirrups and seat in the saddle
    I hung and rattled with them long-horn cattle

    Come a ti yi yippee, come a ti yi yea
    Come a ti yi yippee, come a ti yi yea

    The wind commenced to blow, and the rain began to fall
    Hit looked, by grab, like we was goin' to lose 'em all

    Come a ti yi yippee, come a ti yi yea
    Come a ti yi yippee, come a ti yi yea

    I don't give a darn if they never do stop
    I'll ride as long as an eight-day clock

    Come a ti yi yippee, come a ti yi yea
    Come a ti yi yippee, come a ti yi yea

    We rounded 'em up and put 'em on the cars
    And that was the last of the old Two Bars

    Come a ti yi yippee, come a ti yi yea
    Come a ti yi yippee, come a ti yi yea

    Oh, it's bacon and beans most every day
    I'd as soon be a-eatin' prairie hay

    Come a ti yi yippee, come a ti yi yea
    Come a ti yi yippee, come a ti yi yea

    I went to the boss to draw my roll
    He had it figgered out I was nine dollars in the hole

    Come a ti yi yippee, come a ti yi yea
    Come a ti yi yippee, come a ti yi yea

    Goin' back to town to draw my money
    Goin' back home to see my honey

    Come a ti yi yippee, come a ti yi yea
    Come a ti yi yippee, come a ti yi yea

    With my knees in the saddle and my seat in the sky
    I'll quit punchin' cows in the sweet by and by

    Come a ti yi yippee, come a ti yi yea
    Come a ti yi yippee, come a ti yi yea

    The Old Calliope
    From the film "Sailor Beware" - 1952
    Composer(s): Jerry Livingston - Mack David
    Performer(s): Dean Martin & Jerry Lewis



    My grandpa was a minstrel man, a minstrel man was he
    And to tell the truth, I guess I've got some minstrel blood in me
    You can have all the harps in heaven, blow all the horns here on the ground
    But I find I still get my greatest thrill every time I hear this sound

    I love to hear an old calliope
    I love the melody of an old calliope
    And when you hear that thrilling harmony
    Gather roun', the minstrel show's in town
    (JL) wow, wow, wow, wow!

    It sounds so grand, that old calliope
    What is more heavenly than an old calliope?
    Here comes the band, oh what a sight to see
    Gather roun', the minstrel show's in town
    (JL) wow, wow, wow, wow!

    Banjo's strummin'
    (Both) za zoo za zoo za zoo zaz
    Folks are hummin'
    (Both) za zoo za zoo za zoo zaz
    Minstrels comin'
    (Both) za zoo za zoo za zoo zaz
    What a show, what a show
    (Both) It's the finest show I know

    It's comin' near
    (JL) Coming near coming near
    That old calliope
    (JL) What a sight to see
    Oh, what a melody
    (JL) What a melody
    On the old calliope
    (JL) Old calliope
    (Both) So loud and clear, that thrilling harmony
    (Both) Gather roun', the minstrel show's in town

    There's the Interlocutor
    And Mr. Bones so full of life
    "Who's that lady you were with last night?"
    (JL) "That was no lady that was my wife"
    (DM) Ha, ha!
    (JL) Ha, ha!
    (DM) Ho, ho!
    (JL) Ho, ho!
    (Both) What a show, what a show, what a show

    Says the Interlocutor
    To Mr. Bones so full of pride:
    "Why does the chicken cross the road?"
    (JL) "Why to get to that other side"

    I love to hear an old calliope
    I love the melody of an old calliope
    (JL) And when you hear that thrilling harmony
    (Both) Gather roun', the minstrel show's in town

    The Old Bazaar In Cairo
    Composer(s): Charlie Chester - K. Morris - Clinton Ford
    Performer(s): Clinton Ford



    Sand bags, wind bags, camels with a hump
    Fat girls, thin girls, some a little plump
    Slave girls sold here, fifty bob a lump
    In the old bazaar in Cairo

    Brandy, shandy, beer without a froth
    Braces, laces, a candle for the moth
    Bet you'd look a smasher in an old loin cloth
    In the old bazaar in Cairo

    You can buy most anything
    Thin bulls, fat cows, a little bit of string
    You can purchase anything you wish
    A clock, a dish and something for your Auntie Nellie

    Harem, scarem, what d'ya think of that
    Bare knees, striptease, dancing on the mat
    Umpa! Umpa! That's enough of that
    In the old bazaar in Cairo

    Rice pud, very good, what's it all about
    Made it in a kettle and they couldn't get it out
    Everybody took a turn to suck it through the spout
    In the old bazaar in Cairo

    Mamadan, Ramadan, everything in style
    Genuine, beduine carpet with a pile
    Funny little odds and ends floating down the Nile
    From the old bazaar in Cairo

    You can buy most anything
    Sheeps eyes, sand pies, a watch without a spring
    You can buy a pomegranate too
    A water-bag, a little bit of hokey pokey

    Yashmaks, pontefracts, what a strange affair
    Dark girls, fair girls, some with ginger hair
    The rest of it is funny but they censor it out there
    In the old bazaar in Cairo

    The Old Apple Tree
    Composer(s): M.K. Jerome - Jack Scholl
    Performer(s): Weaver Brothers & Elviry
    and multiple other artists



    Oh! The old apple tree in the orchard
    Lives in my memory
    'Cause it reminds me of my Pappy
    He was handsome, young and happy
    When he planted the old apple tree

    Say "Goodbye", say "Goodbye"
    Say "Goodbye" to the old apple tree
    If my Pappy had a knowed it
    He'd be sorry that he growed it
    'Cause he died on the old apple tree

    Then one day Pappy took Widder Norton
    Out on a jamboree
    And when he took her home at sun-up
    Brother Norton raised his gun up
    And chased Pappy up in the tree

    Say "Goodbye", say "Goodbye"
    Say "Goodbye" to the old apple tree
    If my Pappy had a knowed it
    He'd be sorry that he growed it
    'Cause he died on the old apple tree

    When the neighbors came after my Pappy
    Up in the tree was he
    The neighbors took a rope and strung him
    By the neck and then they hung him
    To a branch of the old apple tree

    Say "Goodbye", say "Goodbye"
    Say "Goodbye" to the old apple tree
    If my Pappy had a knowed it
    He'd be sorry that he growed it
    'Cause he died on the old apple tree

    Now my poor Pappy lies in the orchard
    Out of his misery
    They put the apples in the basket
    Chopped the tree down for a casket
    And my poor Pappy's gone with the tree

    Say "Goodbye", say "Goodbye"
    Say "Goodbye" to the old apple tree
    If my Pappy had'a knowed it
    He'd be sorry that he growed it
    'Cause he died on the old apple tree

    Old Age Pension Check
    Composer(s): Roy Acuff
    Performer(s): Roy Acuff; The New Lost City Ramblers



    When our old age pension check comes to our door
    We won't have to dread the poor house anymore
    Though we're old and thin and gray
    Good times will be back to stay
    When our old age pension check comes to our door
    When her old age pension check comes to her door
    Dear old grandma won't be lonesome any more
    She'll be waiting at the gate
    Every night she'll have a date
    When her old age pension check comes to her door

    Grow a flowing long white beard and use a cane
    'Cause you're in your second childhood, don't complain
    Life will just begin at sixty
    We'll all feel very frisky
    When our old age pension check comes to our door

    Powder and paint will be abolished on that day
    And hoop skirts will then be brought back into play
    Painted cheeks will be the rage
    And old maids will tell their age
    When their old age pension check comes to their door

    All the drug stores will go bankrupt on that day
    For cosmetics, they will all be put away
    I'll put a flapper on the shelf
    Get a grandma for myself
    When her old age pension check comes to her door

    There's a man that turned this country upside-down
    With his old age pension rumor going 'round
    If you want in on the fun
    Send your dime to Washington
    And that old age pension man will be around
