The One on the Right was on the LeftBack to Song Category List Page Song Lyrics:
There once was a musical troupe, a pickin' swingin' folks group They sang the mountain ballads, and the folks songs of our land They've a lot of 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 acregation toured the entire nation Singing traditional ballads and folks songs of our land They performed with great virtuosity and soon they were to rate 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 licence At a certain harvest rendered, a hush fell on the crowd As thousands there were gathered to hear the folks sing of out land But they took their politics seriously And that night at the concert hall As the audience watched dilleriously, 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 had a broken arm And the guy in the rear said; Oh dear! Now this should be a lesson. If you plan to start a folks group Don't go mixin' politics with the folks 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 And the one on the right's an all night D.J And the guy in the rear got drafted
