The World Goes Round and Round (Tom Paxton) This world goes round and round Green leaves must turn to brown What goes up must come down It all comes back to you You find whatever you feel You lose whatever you steal Just like a spinning wheel The world goes round and round People knocking at the golden door They got plenty but they still want more Don't know what they're looking for The world goes round and round Rain water runs down to the sea Evaporation makes the clouds roll free Then it goes and it rains on me The world goes round and round People fighting but we just can't win Looks like we're going to do it again That's just where I came in The world goes round and round We keep lying but it ain't no use Keep cheatin but we can't break loose Every chicken comes home to roost The world goes round and round By Tom Paxton, sung on his Outward Bound Copyright Tom Paxton SOF
