PETER, PAUL & MARY - There But For Fortune lyrics

rate me

Show me the prison, show me the jail<br>Show me the prisoner whose face is growin' pale<br>And I'll show you a young man with so many reasons why<br>There but for fortune, go you or go i<br>You and i.<br><br>Show me the alley, show me the train<br>Show me the hobo who sleeps out in the rain<br>And I'll show you a young man with many reasons why<br>There but for fortune, go you or go i<br>You and i.<br><br>Show me the famine, show me the frail<br>Eyes with no future, that show how we fail<br>And I'll show you the children with so many reasons why<br>There but for fortune, go you or go i<br>You and i.<br><br>Show me the country where bombs had to fall<br>Show me the ruins of buildings once so tall<br>And I'll show you a young land with many reasons why<br>There but for fortune, go you or go i<br>You and i.<br>You and i.<br><br>There but for fortune, go you or go i<br>You and i.
