Passing Through

Lyrics

[Chorus] Passin' through, passin' through Sometimes happy, sometimes blue Glad that I ran into you Tell the people that you saw me passin' through [Verse 1] 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 pray for rain, maybe raise a little Cain I'm an orphan, and I'm only passin' through" [Chorus] Passin' through, passin' through Sometimes happy, sometimes blue Glad that I ran into you Tell the people that you saw me passin' through [Verse 2] I saw Jesus on the cross on that hill called Calvary "Do you hate mankind for what they done to you?" He said, "Talk of love not hate, things to do, it's gettin' late I'vе so little time, and I'm just passin' through" (Everybody) [Chorus] Passin' through, passin' through Somеtimes happy, sometimes blue Glad that I ran into you Tell the people that you saw me passin' through [Verse 3] I shivered next to Washington one night at Valley Forge "Why do 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" (Come on and join us) [Chorus] Passin' through, passin' through Sometimes happy, sometimes blue Glad that I ran into you Tell the people that you saw me passin' through [Verse 4] I was at Frank Roosevelt's side just a while before he died He said, "One thing that'll come out of World War II Yankee, Russian, white or tan, Lord, a man is just a man We're all brothers, and we're only passin' through" (Everybody singin') [Chorus] Passin' through, passin' through Sometimes happy, sometimes blue Glad that I ran into you Tell the people that you saw me passin' through (One more time) [Chorus] Passin' through, passin' through Sometimes happy, sometimes blue Glad that I ran into you Tell the people that you saw me passin' through
