[Verse 1]

I'm not crazy like my brother

But it's the way that I choose

I don't hang around with a six pence

When I got everything to lose

Would you bring me my money

And take from me all that I was worth

Cause I wasn't worth nothing

And I wasn't yours

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 2]

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 moment yields him 40 times

[Chorus x2]

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

[Outro]

Woman and little child

Don't you be a passerby
