Passin' Through Lyrics - David Houston

Passin' through passin' through 

Sometimes happy sometimes blue that's where I ran into you 

Tell the people that you saw me passin' through 

[ flute ] 

I shivered next to Washington one night at Valley Port 

Fightin' men suffer like they do 

Men will suffer men will fight even die for what is right 

Even though they know they're only passin' through 

Passin' through passin' through... 

[ banjo ] 

At the town of New Orleans the biggest fight I ever seen 

Ol' Hickory how you fight the way you do 

Had not the way you fight it's fightin' for the right 

I've so little time and I'm just passin' through 

Passin' through passin' through... 

[ trumpet ] 

I heard the ragin' cry remembered Alamo Santa Anna you met your Waterloo 

Now papa love not hate things to do it's gettin' late 

I've so little time and I'm just passin' through 

Passin' through passin' through... 

Tell the people that you saw me passin' through 

Tell the people that you saw me passin' through
