|
Back in 1899 |
|
Everybody sang "Auld Lang Syne" |
|
A hundred years would take a long-long time, |
|
For every little boy and girl |
|
Now there's just one thing I would like to know, |
|
Where did the twentieth century go? |
|
I swear it was there just a minute ago, all over this world |
|
(Cash and Nelson) |
|
All over this world |
|
All over this world |
|
The twentieth century is almost over |
|
All over this world |
|
(Cash) |
|
Does anybody recall the Great Depression? |
|
I read all about it in the True Confession |
|
Sorry I was late for the recording session, |
|
Somebody put me on hold |
|
Did anybody see them linoleum floors, petroleum jelly, and two world wars? |
|
The went 'round in revolving doors, all over this world |
|
(Cash and Nelson) |
|
All over this world |
|
All over this world |
|
The twentieth century is almost over |
|
Almost over, almost over |
|
The twentieth century is almost over |
|
All over this world |
|
(Nelson) |
|
Ol' father time is a-rumblin' and a-rappin' |
|
Standin' at the window, thumpin' and a-tappin' |
|
Everybody's waitin' for somethin' to happen, |
|
I hope it don't happen to you |
|
(Cash) |
|
You know, the judgement day is gettin' nearer, |
|
There it is in the rear-view mirror |
|
If you duck down, I could see a little clearer, all over this world |
|
(Cash and Nelson) |
|
All over this world |
|
All over this world |
|
The twentieth century is almost over |
|
Almost over, almost over |
|
The twentieth century is almost over |
|
All over this world |
|
All over this world |
|
All over this world |
|
The twentieth century is almost over |
|
Almost over, almost over |
|
The twentieth century is almost over |
|
All over this world |
|
All over this world |
|
All over this world |
|
The twentieth century is almost over |
|
Almost over, almost over |
|
The twentieth century is almost over |
|
All over this world |
|
