Dear man, you must be mad 
Good man, how many drinks have you had? 

Don't you know? Your family's worried sick over you 
In any event we have no time to spare 
The canvas of your age has a tear 
And a needle without a thread does not a life mend 
Mamma's worked yourself into a terrible fret 
Keep saying, "You can see him" 
And we say, "Not quite yet." 
Oh, not quite yet 

All quiet on the streets we hear the footsteps echo 
Kids run up the stairs and look down from below 
But the streetlight flickers 
Mamma gets sicker 
She says she's goin' to the place where no one twice goes 
So I had to come and arrest you from your sleep 
You see you got too many promises to keep 
And what's more they be dying of starvation 
With all the food on this world there still be famine in this here nation 
You know you love them but they really don't know 
How can they see where the poison go? 

'Cause it's far, far better thing than I've ever done 
For you to become the father to your only son 
Look long at the father before you 
Sits with his hands on his knees 'cause he don't know what to do 
In his old tweed coat and his dress shoes 
Furrowed brow and the eyes of the confused 
Tries desperately to explain his 
Subsequent recluse 
In the remainder of his days 
I know he old but mind you 
How the years go by in a second or two 
Won't be long to your kids are lookin' at you 
Just as you are now 
Just as you are now 

Turn around, my good man, turn around 
Turn around, my good man, Margaret Brown 
Turn around, my good man, turn around 
Turn around, for dear Margaret Brown 
Turn around, my good man, turn around 
Turn around, make your way down 
Turn around, my good man, turn around 
Turn around, for dear dear Margaret Brown.
