As performed at the 1963 Newport Folk Festival
D
Where did you come from
A D
and where will you go?
Bm G
tell me, my little one
D
do you know?
when will you blossom
and how will you grow?
tell me, small creature
do you know?
D
the world you're facin'
G D
is tired and warm
but new hope came through it
Bm A
the day you are born
ahead lies the future
and all of it new
promise* is waiting
waiting for you
Where did you come from
where will you go?
tell me my little one
do you know?
