Lyrics
When Did Right Become Wrong
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
It used to be right that you love me you said so and I thought so too
We'd talk maturely bout old puppy love comparing the old with the new
If it so right we love each other than why you had rather be gone
You seem to take pride in deceiving
But when did right become wrong when did right become wrong
Norman Hamlet
[ steel ] And Roy Nichols
[ guitar ] You made a good talk about romance you said you just know it when it's real
You sealed your orations with kisses of fire oh darlin' weren't they really real
If it's so right that I hold you then why have I not in so long
For you know I can't even touch you
And when did right become wrong when did right become wrong
**********
Thank you so much
One of the greatest song writers of our time Mr Tommy Collins wrote that song especially for us
Right now we'd like to invite the rest of our show out on the bandstand
A young lady that sings harmony with us on all our records
And she has many fine records of her own
We're gonna have her do some of those records
And we're gonna do that right now if you'll all get together and welcome
Miss Bonnie Owens out on the bandstand
Thank you Merle
You got your fightin' side colors on hadn't you
Just give her a hand there for her fightin' side colors my goodness
