THE WORLD GOES ROUND AND ROUND

(Tom Paxton)



This world goes round and round

Green leaves must turn to brown

What goes up must come down

It all comes back to you

You find whatever you feel

You lose whatever you steal

Just like a spinning wheel

The world goes round and round



People knocking at the golden door

They got plenty but they still want more

Don't know what they're looking for

The world goes round and round



Rain water runs down to the sea

Evaporation makes the clouds roll free

Then it goes and it rains on me

The world goes round and round



People fighting but we just can't win

Looks like we're going to do it again

That's just where I came in

The world goes round and round



We keep lying but it ain't no use

Keep cheatin but we can't break loose

Every chicken comes home to roost

The world goes round and round
