Don't You Let Nobody Turn You 'Round

       E          A       B7      E
It's a long, long journey to your own home,
                        A             B7
Where your own truth is waiting to be found.
           E                        A  
And though others will tie you, and try to buy you,
          E     A    B7        E
Don't you let nobody turn you 'round.
                           A
Turn you 'round, turn you 'round.
          E     A    B7        E
Don't you let nobody turn you 'round.

Oh, the weak and timid ones will warn you,
Not to walk out on unfamiliar ground.
But it's there that you've got to go to find what you've got to know,
Don't you let nobody turn you 'round.
Turn you 'round, turn you 'round.
Don't you let nobody turn you 'round.

And the silvery words tumble from the leaders,
And the loud Hosannas may abound.
From the dungeons of history, you'll hear an answer,
Don't you let nobody turn you 'round.
Turn you 'round, turn you 'round.
Don't you let nobody turn you 'round.

In a time long ago, there was a man,
To the old lies He would not be bound.
So they hung Him to a tree for telling you and me,
Don't you let nobody turn you 'round.
Turn you 'round, turn you 'round.
Don't you let nobody turn you 'round.

It's a long, long journey to your own home,
Where your own truth is waiting to be found.
And though others will tie you, and try to buy you,
Don't you let nobody turn you 'round.
Turn you 'round, turn you 'round.
Don't you let nobody turn you 'round.
Turn you 'round, turn you 'round.
Don't you let nobody turn you 'round.
