This World Goes 'Round and 'Round

Words and Music by Tom Paxton

[Chorus:]
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,
And the world goes round and round.

[Cho:]

Rain water runs down to the sea.
Evaporation makes the clouds roll free.
Then it goes and it rains on me.
And the world goes round and round.

[Cho:]

People fighting but we just can't win.
Looks like we're going to do it again.
That's just where I came in,
And the world goes round and round.

[Cho:]

We keep lying but it ain't no use.
Keep cheatin but we can't break loose.
Every chicken comes home to roost,
And the world goes round and round.

[Cho:]
