Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

 There Gonce was a musical G7troupe a CpickinF singinF Gfolk group

 they Csang the mountain Gballads and the Ffolk songs oDf our D7land

 They were Glong on musical aG7bility folks Cthought they would goG far

 but poClitical incompatibiliGty leDd to their dowGnfall

 well the Cone on the right was Gon the left

 and the Done in the middle was Gon the right

 and the Cone on the left was Gin the middle

 and the Dguy in the D7rear was a MethoGdist *

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 driversF 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

donFt go mixinF 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 fem 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 rightFs an all-night deejay

and the guy in the rear got drafted *
