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)
