PASSIN' THROUGH
(Bobby Bare)


Bobby Bare - 1965
Johnny Darrell - 1966
Dave Dudley - 1966





The first sound I heard was a woman's cry
The first word I learned to utter was "Goodbye"
Forgive me if I'm wrong in what I do to you
While passin' through, passin' through

A happiness for me cannot be found
But yet I still search from town to town
No offence, but I don't think I'll find it here with you
Goodbye, babe, just passin' through

Passin' through your life like a ragin' river
No woman needs or can hold the love I give her
Please understand I can't control these things I do
While passin' through, passin' through

Well, what was that ,did you say you thought you loved me
Well, that's too bad, girl, for if you really do
You'll just awaken with the dawn and find your love has flown
Like an old wild goose passin' through

Passin' through your life like a ragin' river
No woman needs or can hold the love I give her
Please understand I can't control these things I do
While passin' through, passin' through

Like an old North wind, passin' through
Goodbye, babe, just passin' through
Goodbye, babe, just passin' through
