    Orange And The Green
    Composer(s): A. Murphy
    Performer(s): The Irish Rovers



    Oh, it is the biggest mix-up that you have ever seen
    My father, he was Orange and me mother, she was green

    My father was an Ulster man, proud Protestant was he
    My mother was a Catholic girl, from county Cork was she
    They were married in two churches, lived happily enough
    Until the day that I was born and things got rather tough

    Oh, it is the biggest mix-up that you have ever seen
    My father, he was Orange and me mother, she was green

    Baptized by Father Riley, I was rushed away by car
    To be made a little Orangeman, my father's shining star
    I was christened "David Anthony," but still, inspite of that
    To me father, I was William, while my mother called me Pat

    Oh, it is the biggest mix-up that you have ever seen
    My father, he was Orange and me mother, she was green

    With Mother every Sunday, to Mass I'd proudly stroll
    Then after that, the Orange lodge would try to save my soul
    For both sides tried to claim me, but i was smart because
    I'd play the flute or play the harp, depending where I was

    Oh, it is the biggest mix-up that you have ever seen
    My father, he was Orange and me mother, she was green

    One day me Ma's relations came round to visit me
    Just as my father's kinfolk were all sitting down to tea
    We tried to smooth things over, but they all began to fight
    And me, being strictly neutral, I bashed everyone in sight

    Oh, it is the biggest mix-up that you have ever seen
    My father, he was Orange and me mother, she was green

    Now my parents never could agree about my type of school
    My learning was all done at home, that's why I'm such a fool
    They've both passed on, God rest 'em, but left me caught between
    That awful color problem of the Orange and the Green

    Oh, it is the biggest mix-up that you have ever seen
    My father, he was Orange and me mother, she was green
    Yes, it is the biggest mix-up that you have ever seen
    My father, he was Orange and me mother, she was green

    Tom, get your plane right on time
    I know your part will go fine
    Fly down to Mexico
    Do-n-da-da-n-da-da-n-da-da and here I am
    The only living boy in New York

    I get the news I need from the weather report
    I can gather all the news I need from the weather report
    Hey, I've got nothing to do to-day but smile
    Do-n-da-da-n-da-n-da-da-n here I am
    The only living boy in New York

    Half of the time we're gone, but we don't know
    Where, and we don't know where

    Ah....
    Here I am

    Tom, get your plane right on time
    I know that you've been eager to fly now
    Hey, let your honesty shine, shine, shine now
    Do-n-da-da-n-da-da-n-do like it shines on me
    The only living boy in New York
    The only living boy in New York

    You're The Only Light On My Horizon Now
    Composer(s): Stephens - Macauley
    Performer(s): Sha Na Na



    The footlights and the curtain calls
    The way she spoke the lines
    As though she meant them just for me
    It fooled me every time
    Now I'm forgotten for another stage door clown
    I wish I hadn't left you, I wish I hadn't left you
    Now I'm on the road alone and homeward bound

    You're the only light still shining on my horizon now
    Shine on, shine on
    You're the only silver lining in the grey cloud all around
    Shine on, shine on
    You light the way ahead
    The road I tread is getting hard to climb
    I only hope I reach that light in time
    You're a lonely cello playing
    In the silence all around
    You're the only light on my horizon now

    The diamonds and the Dior gowns
    The rose at every door
    The ritzy restaurants uptown was what she took me for
    No more than a two-bit player in her masquerade
    I wish I hadn't left you, I wish I hadn't left you
    Though in your eyes I fit the part I play

    You're the only light still shining on my horizon now
    Shine on, shine on
    You're the only silver lining in the grey cloud all around
    Shine on, shine on
    You light the way ahead
    The road I tread is getting hard to climb
    I only hope I reach that light in time
    You're a lonely cello playing
    In the silence all around
    You're the only light on my horizon now

    Yes, you're the only light on my horizon now

    I'm The Only Hell (Mama Ever Raised)
    Composer(s): Bobby Borchers - Mack Vickery - Wayne Kemp
    Performer(s): Johnny Paycheck
    and multiple other artists



    I can't sell my momma short on loving me
    I guess that's why she let me go so far
    Momma tried stopped me short of stealing
    I guess that's why I had to steal that car
    She told me not to smoke it but I did
    and it took me far away
    And I turned out to be the only hell my momma ever raised

    I rolled into Atlanta stolen tags and almost out of gas
    I had to get some money and lately I'd learned how to get it fast
    Those neon lights was calling me and somehow I just had to get downtown
    So I reached into the glove box another liquor store went down

    And I sing Precious Memories take me back to the good old days
    Let me hear my momma singing Rock of Ages cleft for me
    She tried to turn me on to Jesus but I turned on to the devil's ways
    And I turned out to be the only hell my momma ever raised

    When they put those handcuffs on me lord how I fought to resist
    But that agent clamped them tighter till that metal bit into my wrist
    They took my boots and my billfold my fingerprints and the profile of my face
    Then they locked away the only hell my momma ever raised

    And I sing Precious Memories take me back to the good old days
    I can hear my momma singing Rock of Ages cleft for me
    She tried to turn me on to Jesus but I turned on to the devil's ways
    And I turned out to be the only hell my momma ever raised
    She tried to turn me on to Jesus but I turned on to the devil's ways
    And I turned out to be the only hell my momma ever raised

    and multiple other artists



    I know you need a friend, someone you can talk to
    Who will understand what you're going through
    When it comes to love, there's no easy answer
    Only you can say what you're gonna do

    I heard you on the phone, you took his number
    Said you were alone but you'd call him soon
    Isn't he the guy, the guy who left you cryin'
    Isn't he the one who made you blue

    When you remember those nights in his arms
    You know you gotta make up your mind

    Are you gonna stay with the one who loves you
    Or are you goin' back to the one you love
    Someone's gonna cry when they know they've lost you
    Someone's gonna thank the stars above

    What you gonna say when he comes over
    There's no easy way to see this through
    All the broken dreams, all the disappointments
    Oh girl, what you gonna do

    Your heart keeps sayin' it's just not fair
    But still you gotta make up your mind

    Are you gonna stay with the one who loves you
    Or are you goin' back to the one you love
    Someone's gonna cry when they know they've lost you
    Someone's gonna thank the stars above

    Now the night has gone
    Now the night has gone away...
    Doesn't seem that long
    We hardly had two words to say...
    Hold me in your arms for just another day
    I promise this one will go slow
    Oh...
    We have the right you know
    We have the right you know

    Don't say the mornings come

    Don't say the mornings come so soon...
    Must we end this way
    When so much here is hard to lose...
    Love is everywhere, I know it is
    Such moments as these, are too few
    Oh...
    It's all up to you
    It's all up to you...

    Here I am
    The one that you love
    Askin' for another day
    Understand the one that you love
    Loves you in so many ways, ah...
    Tell me we can stay, tell me we can stay oh please...
    They are the words to say
    The only words I can believe
    Hold me in your arms for just another day
    I promise this one will go slow, oh...
    We have the right you know
    We have the right you know

    Here I am
    The one that you love
    Askin' for another day
    Understand the one that you love
    Loves you in so many ways
    Here I am
    The one that you love
    Askin' for another day
    Understand the one that you love
    Loves you in so many ways

    The night has gone
    A part of yesterday

    I don't know what to say...
    I don't know what to say...

    Here I am

    The one that you love
    Askin' for another day
    Understand the one that you love
    Loves you in so many ways
    Loves you in so many ways

    So blue, so lonesome too, but still true
    Rosie haunts me, makes me think of you
    You're the one rose that's left in my heart, Dear
    I love you, adore you, I do

    Each night in dreamland we wandered along
    Telling love stories anew
    When from a blue sky a black cloud came rolling
    Breaking my heart in two

    But we vowed not to part, I have said from the start
    You're the one rose that's left in my heart
    Oh, we ought not to part, I have said from the start
    You're the one rose that's left in my heart

    The One On The Left Is On The Right
    Composer(s): Jack Clement
    Performer(s): Johnny Cash



    There once was a musical troupe a pickin' singin' folk group
    They sang the mountain ballads and the folk songs of our land
    They were long on musical ability folks thought they would go far
    But political incompatibility led to their downfall

    Well the one on the right was on the left
    And the one in the middle was on the right
    And the one on the left was in the middle
    And the guy in the rear was a Methodist

    This musical agregation toured the entire nation
    Singing the traditional ballads and the folk songs of our land
    They performed with great virtuosity and soon they were the rage
    But political animosity prevailed upon the stage

    Well the one on the right was on the left
    And the one in the middle was on the right
    And the one on the left was in the middle
    And the guy in the rear burned his driver's license

    Well the curtain had ascended a hush fell on the crowd
    As thousands there were gathered to hear the folk songs of our land
    But they took their politics seriously and that night at the concert hall
    As the audience watched deliriously they had a free-for-all

    Well the one on the right was on the bottom
    And the one in the middle was on the top
    And the one on the left got a broken arm
    And the guy on his rear, said, "oh dear"

    Now this should be a lesson if you plan to start a folk group
    Don't go mixin' politics with the folk songs of our land
    Just work on harmony and diction play your banjo well
    And if you have political convictions keep 'em to yourself

    Now the one on the left works in a bank
    And the one in the middle drives a truck
    The one on the right's an all-night deejay
    And the guy in the rear got drafted

    Let me tell you 'bout the Manfreds
    The music that they're puttin' down
    They started to play
    On a rainy day
    And the people came from miles around

    They didn't come for the rhythm
    They didn't come for the beat
    The people of the town
    Came just to stand around
    And see the singer lookin' sweet

    Mike Hugg plays the drums, yeah
    Tom McGuiness plays the diamond bass
    But the one in the middle
    Sings "Hey diddle diddle"
    God, he's just a pretty face

    They didn't come for the rhythm
    They didn't come for the beat
    The people of the town
    Came just to stand around
    And see the singer lookin' sweet

    They couldn't have!

    Manfred Mann plays the organ
    Mike Vickers plays guitar
    & there's a geezer called Paul
    Who's so thin & so tall
    And sure wants to be a star

    They didn't come for the rhythm
    They didn't come for the beat
    The people of the town
    Came just to stand around
    And see the singer lookin' sweet

    See the singer lookin'...
    See the singer lookin'...
    See the singer lookin'...
    See the singer lookin'...
    See the singer lookin'...
    See the singer lookin'...
    Sweet

    The One I Loved Back Then (aka Corvette Song)
    Performer(s): George Jones



    I stopped off at the Quicksack for some beer and cigarettes
    The old man took my money as he stared at my Corvette
    He said, I had one just like her son, a 1963
    'Til the man down at the bank took her from me

    Oh She was hotter than a two dollar pistol
    She was the fastest thing around
    Long and lean every young man's dream
    She turned every head in town
    She was built and fun to handle Son
    I'm glad that you dropped in
    She reminds me of the one I loved back then

    Then I handed him my keys and said, here take her for a spin
    The old man scratched his head, then
    he looked at me and grinned
    He said son you just don't understand it ain't the car I want
    It's the brunette in your 'vette that turns me on

    I had one that was hotter than a two dollar pistol
    She was the fastest thing around
    Long and lean every young man's dream
    She turned every head in town
    She was built and fun to handle Son
    I'm glad that you dropped in
    She reminds me of the one I loved back then

    Lord she was hotter than a two dollar pistol
    She was the fastest thing around
    Long and lean every young man's dream
    She turned every head in town
    She was built and fun to handle Son
    I'm glad that you dropped in
    She reminds me of the one I loved back then

    She reminds me of the one I loved back then

    The one I love belongs to somebody else
    She means her tender songs for somebody else
    And even when I have my arms around her
    I know her thoughts are strong for somebody else
    The hands I held belong to somebody else
    I'll bet they're not so cold to somebody else
    It's tough to be alone on the shelf
    It's worse to fall in love by yourself
    The one I love belongs to somebody else
    The one I love belongs to somebody else

    When I saw you walking down the street
    I said
    That’s the kind of guy I’d like to meet
    If I just had the chance
    Maybe I could find me a little romance

    So I
    Went and asked you if you knew the time
    (you knew the time)
    Hoping that you wouldn’t see that I was just
    playing for more (playing for more)
    Seeing if you fit for the grand amore

    I said
    I don’t think I really ought to talk to you
    There are somethings that a girl is not meant to do
    But you’re the one exception to the rule
    (ooh, oooh…ooh, oooh)
    I don’t have to go on looking anymore
    There has never been a guy like you before
    You’re the one exception to the rule
    (ooh, oooh…ooh, oooh)

    I was breaking a society rule (breaking a rule)
    I would surely go and blow my cool
    When you asked me my name (asked me my name)
    I thought that I was going crazy (crazy),
    I was going insane

    But then
    As we walked off to a small café (small café)
    Just about a block or so away
    I knew you were the one (you were the one)
    I had a funny feeling something could have begun

    I said
    I don’t think I ought to talk to you
    There are somethings that a girl is not meant to do
    But you’re the one exception to the rule
    (ooh, oooh…ooh, oooh)
    I don’t have to go on looking anymore
    There has never been a guy like you before
    You’re the one exception to the rule
    (ooh, oooh…ooh, oooh)

    One exception, you’re the one
    exception, you’re the one
    exception
    One exception, you’re the one
    exception, you’re the one
    exception

    One day we will be together
    And the two of us will be forever
    And we’ll both remember, won’t we?
    We’ll remember won’t we?

    I don’t think I really ought to talk to you
    There are somethings that a girl is not meant to do
    But you’re the one exception to the rule
    (ooh, oooh…ooh, oooh)
    I don’t have to go on looking anymore
    There has never been a guy like you before
    You’re the one exception to the rule
    (ooh, oooh…ooh, oooh)

    You’re the…
    One exception
    One exception
    You’re the one exception to the rule
    (ooh, oooh…ooh, oooh)

    Hey yeah
    I don’t think I really ought to talk to you
    There are somethings that a girl is not meant to do
    But you’re the one exception to the rule
    (ooh, oooh…ooh, oooh)
    I don’t have to go on looking anymore
    There has never been a guy like you before
    You’re the one exception to the rule
    (ooh, oooh…ooh, oooh)

    You’re the…
    One exception
    One exception
    You’re the one exception to the rule
    (ooh, oooh…ooh, oooh)

    One After 909
    Composer(s): John Lennon - Paul McCartney
    First release by: The Beatles - 1970
    Covered by multiple other artists



    My baby said she's trav'ling on the one after 909
    I said move over honey I'm traveling on that line
    I said move over once, move over twice
    Come on baby don't be cold as ice
    Said she's trav'ling on the one after 909

    I begged her not to go and I begged her on my bended knees
    You're only fooling around, you're fooling around with me
    I said move over once, move over twice
    Come on baby don't be cold as ice
    Said she's trav'ling on the one after 909

    I got my bag, run to the station
    Railman says you've got the the wrong location
    I got my bag, run right home
    Then I find I've got the number wrong

    Well she said she's trav'ling on the one after 909
    I said move over honey I'm traveling on that line
    I said move over once, move over twice
    Come on baby don't be cold as ice
    Said she's trav'ling on the one after 9-0
    Said she's trav'ling on the one after 9-0
    Said she's trav'ling on the one after 909

    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

    The Old Songs
    Composer(s): Buddy Kaye - David Pomeranz
    Performer(s): Barry Manilow; David Pomeranz; David Osborne



    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
