If You Don't Look Around Songtext
von The Kingston Trio

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)
