If You Don`t Look Around — текст песни (Kingston Trio)

John Stewart

They told me doncha go down to that city. Don`t you go down to that city, I say.
For there`s trouble there for sure and it`s no concern of yours and it`s all I have to hear them people say.

Chorus:
If you don`t look around, you won`t see my a-goin`, see me a-goin` that way.
If you don`t look around, you`ll have no way of knowin`. I don`t think you even know what I say.

And I saw children just walkin` `long and singin` when a voice from behind me rang through.
Then I saw an ugly man with a mad dog in his hand. He said, "Stand right there. I`ll turn him loose on you."

(Chorus)

So don`t tell me there ain`t no time for singin` `cause I don`t need no empty words from you.
If they`re sayin` who ain`t free then they`re sayin` it right to me. So, go back home. I`ll wake you when we`re through.

(Chorus)
