Don't You Let Nobody Turn You 'Round - Tom Paxton

It’s a long, long journey to your own home

Where your own truth is waiting to be found

And though others will tie you, and try to buy you

Don’t you let nobody turn you 'round

Turn you 'round, turn you 'round

Don’t you let nobody turn you 'round

Oh, the weak and timid ones will warn you

Not to walk out on unfamiliar ground

But it’s there that you’ve got to go to find what you’ve got to know

Don’t you let nobody turn you 'round

Turn you 'round, turn you 'round

Don’t you let nobody turn you 'round

And the silvery words tumble from the leaders

And the loud Hosannas may abound

From the dungeons of history, you’ll hear an answer

Don’t you let nobody turn you 'round

Turn you 'round, turn you 'round

Don’t you let nobody turn you 'round

In a time long ago, there was a man

To the old lies He would not be bound

So they hung Him to a tree for telling you and me

Don’t you let nobody turn you 'round

Turn you 'round, turn you 'round

Don’t you let nobody turn you 'round

It’s a long, long journey to your own home

Where your own truth is waiting to be found

And though others will tie you, and try to buy you

Don’t you let nobody turn you 'round

Turn you 'round, turn you 'round

Don’t you let nobody turn you 'round

Turn you 'round, turn you 'round

Don’t you let nobody turn you 'round
