Passin' through

Passin' through passin' through
Sometimes happy sometimes blue that's where I ran into you
Tell the people that you saw me passin' through
[ flute ]
I shivered next to Washington one night at Valley Port
Fightin' men suffer like they do
Men will suffer men will fight even die for what is right
Even though they know they're only passin' through
Passin' through passin' through...
[ banjo ]
At the town of New Orleans the biggest fight I ever seen
Ol' Hickory how you fight the way you do
Had not the way you fight it's fightin' for the right
I've so little time and I'm just passin' through
Passin' through passin' through...
[ trumpet ]
I heard the ragin' cry remembered Alamo Santa Anna you met your Waterloo
Now papa love not hate things to do it's gettin' late
I've so little time and I'm just passin' through
Passin' through passin' through...
Tell the people that you saw me passin' through
Tell the people that you saw me passin' through
