The Twentieth Century Is Almost Over

[Verse 1: Willie Nelson]

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

[Chorus]

The twentieth century is almost over, all over this world

[Verse 2: Johnny 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

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 3: Willie Nelson]

Old father time is a-rumblin' and a-rappin'

Standin' at the window, thumpin' and a-tappin'

Everybody's waiting for somethin' to happen

I hope it don't happen to you

You know, the judgement day is getting nearer

There it is in the rear-view mirror

If you duck down I could see a little clearer, all over this world

[Chorus]

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

[Chorus]

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

[Outro]

All over this world

All over this world

The twentieth century is almost over

All over this world
