Lyrics for The One On The Right Is On The Left by JOHNNY CASH:
| | | Artist: | JOHNNY CASH |
| | Album: | Unknown | | Track: | The One On The Right Is On The Left | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 66 | | | | Lyrics: | 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
aggregation 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 in the 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 them 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
