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?
