Kingston Trio If You Don`t Look Around Lyrics

If You Don`t Look Around Lyrics

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



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"



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



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



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
