The One On The Right Is On The Left

In the style of

Johnny Cash

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
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 dj
and the guy
in the rear
got drafted
