I'm not crazy like my brother

But it's the way that I choose

I don't hang around with a six pence

When I got everything to lose



Would you bring me my money

And take from me all that I was worth

'Cause I wasn't worth nothing

And I wasn't yours



Oh don't you be a passerby

Oh won't you sit down

And stay a while

'Cause it's been too long since you been around



Sold out man from across the way

He thought he heard what he heard you say

Hey now man your watch it shines

For the bid of a second yields him 40 times



Oh don't you be a passerby

Oh won't you sit down

And stay a while



Don't you be a passerby

Oh don't won't you sit down

And stay a while...

'Cause it's been too long since you been around



Woman and little child

don't you be a passerby
