(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

(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
