I'm not crazy like my brother but it's the way that I choose
I don't hang around with a sixpence when I got everything to lose
Would you bring my money and take from me all that I was worth?
'Cause I wasn't worth nothing and I wasn't yours
Oh, would you be a passerby?
Oh, won't you sit down and stay a while?
Oh, don't you be a passerby
Oh, won't you sit down and stay a while?
'Cause it's been too long, since you been around
Yeah, since you been around
Sold out man from across the way
He thought he heard what he heard you say
"Hey now, man your watch it shines"
For the bid of a second yields him 40 times
Oh, would you be a passerby?
Oh, won't you sit down and stay a while?
Oh, don't you be a passerby
Oh, won't you sit down and stay a while?
'Cause it's been too long since you been around
Woman, little child
Woman, little child
Woman, little child
Woman, little child
Hey woman, hey woman
Hey woman, little child
Woman, hey woman
Hey woman, hey woman
Don't ya be a passerby, passerby, passerby
(Oh, don't ya leave me alone, no no)
Passerby, oh passerby, passerby
(Oh, don't ya leave me alone)
Passerby, passerby, passerby
