ready Dave?
mhmm
I saw Adam leave the garden with an apple in his hand
"now that you're out what are you gonna do?"
"plant some crops and wait for rain
think I'll raise a little cain
I'm an orphan now and I'm only passing through
passing through, passing through
sometimes happy, sometimes blue
glad that I ran into you
tell the people that you saw me passing through"
I saw Jesus on the cross on the hill called Calvary
"do you hate mankind for what they done to you?"
he said "speak of love not hate,
things to do it's getting late.
I have such little time and I'm only passing through
passing through, passing through
sometimes happy, sometimes blue
glad that I ran into you
tell the people that you saw me passing through"
I was by Franklin Roosevelt's side on the night before he died
he said "one world must come out of World War II
Yankee, Russian, white or tan, lord, a man is still a man
we're on one road and we're all just passing through
passing through, passing through
sometimes happy, sometimes blue
glad that I ran into you
tell the people that you saw me passing through
passing through, passing through
sometimes happy, sometimes blue
glad that I ran into you
tell the people that you saw me passing through"
