I saw jesus on the cross
on a 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 getting late
I've so little time
and I'm only passing through
Passing through passing through
Sometimes happy sometimes blue
Glad that I ran into you
Tell the people that you
saw me passing through
I saw adam leave the garden
with an apple in his hand
I said now you're out
what are you going to do
plant some crops and pray for rain
maybe raise a little cane
I'm an orphan now
and I'm only passing through
Passing through passing through
Sometimes happy sometimes blue
Glad that I ran into you
Tell the people that you
saw me passing through
I was with washington at valley ford
shivering in the snow
I said how come the men here
suffer like they do
men will suffer men will fight
even die for what is right
Even though they know
they're only passing through
Passing through passing through
Sometimes happy sometimes blue
Glad that I ran into you
Tell the people that you
saw me passing through
I was with franklin roosevelt's
side on the night before he died
He said one world must come out
of world war two
ah the fool
yankee russian white or tan
he said a man is still a man
We're all on one road
and we're only passing through
Passing through passing through
Sometimes happy sometimes blue
Glad that I ran into you
Tell the people that you
saw me passing through
let's do it one more time
Passing through passing through
Sometimes happy sometimes blue
Glad that I ran into you
Tell the people that you
saw me passing through
