Thread Name: Lyr Add: One on the Right Is on the Left (Clement)
Subject: Lyr Req: Political Folk Group Song
Actually, I need both lyrics and tune, if possible. Chords would be helpful, but not necessary.

Friday 4/21/06, at a coffee house open mike, I heard a cute little song that I'd be enchanted to learn. It's about (as per the thread title) a folk song quartet, who were politically split:

The chorus (the first time through) went something like:

And 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 a libertarian,
and the one in the rear.......was a Methodist.


The song dealt with their tribulations dealing with the split in their ranks as they traveled around, bringing folk songs to the nation.

Anyone know, or know where I can get, this song?
