By and By

My wrist watch is broken My shoes are untied Time is a tickin' So is the tie But I am not worried Things are what they are Come rain or come shine Or a shooting star I've been to the South Then to the north The East and the West The middle of course I may have been a stray But I've never been lost Never been beat By the roads I've crossed (Hook) I guess I've been lucky To some degree For someone who eat All the food from the tree Stars being aligned And my goose hanging high I'll be ok in the sweet by and by I was born at morning On the first day of June Nineteen hundred and something into Our mom was a sweetheart Our father was too They left me here watching an old pair of shoes (Hook) I guess I've been lucky To some degree For someone who eat All the food from the tree Stars being aligned And my goose hanging high I'll be ok in the sweet by and by (twice)
