Time for Me to Go Songtext
von Dixon Brothers

I went down to a circus show one day
I meant to try to pass a little time away
Just about then I heard a bitter shout
Everybody run because the lions are out

I wasn′t scared but it seemed like it was time for me to go
If I should wait it'd make the loss of blood
I didn′t want to lose mine you know
There is no lion that a man can trust
I couldn't stand still it was run or bust
I wasn't scared but it seemed like it was time for me to go

The lions kept a yelling up a roaring sound
They were running all over the ground
I never looked back and I didn′t see
But I felt a lion when he slapped at me


I wasn′t scared but it seemed like it was time for me to go
If I should wait it'd make the loss of blood
I didn′t want to lose mine you know
There is no lion that a man can trust
I couldn't stand still it was run or bust
I wasn′t scared but it seemed like it was time for me to go

I kept on a running and I didn't slow down
I run right off from that roaring sound
I run so fast like the half you know
The folks couldn′t see me when I left the show

I wasn't scared but it seemed like it was time for me to go
If I should wait it'd make the loss of blood
I didn′t want to lose mine you know
There is no lion that a man can trust
I couldn′t stand still it was run or bust
I wasn't scared but it seemed like it was time for me to go

The lions kept a roaring in an awful rage
Causing me to have to shake a wicked leg
I made a B-line right across the state
I passed a Plymouth in a Ford V-8


I wasn′t scared but it seemed like it was time for me to go
If I should wait it'd make the loss of blood
I didn′t want to lose mine you know
There is no lion that a man can trust
I couldn't stand still it was run or bust
I wasn′t scared but it seemed like it was time for me to go
