Passin’ Through Lyrics by Sam Doores, Riley Downing, The Tumbleweeds

Holy Cross Blues

2012

[Verse 1]
Saw Adam leave the Garden with an apple in his hand
I said, "Now you're out, what are you gonna do?"
“Plant my crops and pray for rain, maybe raise a little cane
I'm an orphan now and I'm only passin' through”
[Chorus]
Passin' through, passin' through
Sometimes happy, sometimes blue
Glad that I ran into you
Tell all the people that you saw me passin' through
[Verse 2]
I saw Jesus on the cross on that hill called Calvary
Said, "Do you hate mankind for what they done to you?"
He said, “Talk of love, not hate—things to do, it's getting late
So little time and I'm just passin' through"
[Chorus]
Passin' through, passin' through
Sometimes happy, sometimes blue
Glad that I run into you
Tell all the peoplе that you saw me passin' through
[Verse 3]
Well, I shiverеd with George Washington one night at Valley Forge
"Why do the soldiers freeze here like they do?"
He said, "Men will suffer, fight, even die for what's right
Even though they all know they're passin' through”
[Chorus]
Passin' through, passin' through
Sometimes happy, sometimes blue
Glad that I run into you
Tell all the people that you saw me passin' through
[Verse 4]
I was at Franklin Roosevelt's side just a little while before he died
He said, “One world must come out of World War Two”
“Yankee, Russia, white or tan, young or old in every land
We're all people, and we're only passing through"
[Chorus]
Passin' through, passin' through
Sometimes happy, sometimes blue
Glad that I run into you
Tell all the people that you saw me passin' through
[Outro]
Tell all the people
You saw me passin' through
