Back in 1899
|
Everybody sang "Auld Lang Syne"
|
A hundred years would take a long-long time,
|
For every little boy and girl
|
Now there's just one thing I would like to know,
|
Where did the twentieth century go?
|
I swear it was there just a minute ago, all over this world
|
|
[Cash and Nelson]
|
All over this world
|
All over this world
|
The twentieth century is almost over
|
All over this world
|
|
[Cash]
|
Does anybody recall the Great Depression?
|
I read all about it in the True Confession
|
Sorry I was late for the recording session,
|
Somebody put me on hold
|
Did anybody see them linoleum floors, petroleum jelly, and two world wars?
|
The went 'round in revolving doors, all over this world
|
|
[Cash and Nelson]
|
All over this world
|
All over this world
|
The twentieth century is almost over
|
Almost over, almost over
|
The twentieth century is almost over
|
All over this world
|
|
[Nelson]
|
Ol' father time is a-rumblin' and a-rappin'
|
Standin' at the window, thumpin' and a-tappin'
|
Everybody's waitin' for somethin' to happen,
|
I hope it don't happen to you
|
[Cash]
|
You know, the judgement day is gettin' nearer,
|
There it is in the rear-view mirror
|
If you duck down, I could see a little clearer, all over this world
|
|
[Cash and Nelson]
|
All over this world
|
All over this world
|
The twentieth century is almost over
|
Almost over, almost over
|
The twentieth century is almost over
|
All over this world
|
|
All over this world
|
All over this world
|
The twentieth century is almost over
|
Almost over, almost over
|
The twentieth century is almost over
|
All over this world
|
|
All over this world
|
All over this world
|
The twentieth century is almost over
|
Almost over, almost over
|
The twentieth century is almost over
|
All over this world
|
