I saw Adam leave the Garden with an apple in his hand,
I said "Now you're out, what are you going to do?"
"Plant some crops & pray for rain, maybe raise a little cane.
I'm an orphan now, & I'm only passing thru."

Chorus
Passing thru, passing thru. Sometimes happy, sometimes blue. Glad that I ran into you. Tell the people that you saw me passing thru.

I saw Jesus on the cross on a hill called Calvary.
"Do You hate mankind for what they done to you?"
He said, "Talk of love not hate, things to do, it's getting late.
I've so little time & I'm only passing through."

I was with Washington at Valley Forge, shivering in the snow.
I said, "How come the men here suffer like they do?"
"Men will suffer, men will fight, even die for what is right
Even though they know they're only passing thru"

I was at Franklin Roosevelt's side on the night b4 he died.
He said, "1 world must come out of World War 2".
"Yankee' Russian, white or tan" he said, "A man is still a man.
We're all on 1 road, & we're only passing thru."

Happy Easter
