This was a song entitled "Turn Around", sung and co-written by Harry Belafonte, released in 1959. It has also been performed by others through the years. Very popular at weddings years ago as well. Below are two different versions i found on the internet. Aparently it is one of those songs that the genuine words are hard to find. I am unsure if either of these versions is correct. Purchasing the sheet music may be the only way to be sure. Life grows short

And man grows old

Summer's gone

And the wind turns cold

Where are you going

My little one, little one

Where are you going

My sonny, my own

Turn around and you're two

Turn around and you're four

Turn around, you're a young man

Going out of the door

Where are you going

My little one, little one

Pigtails and petticoats

Where have you gone

Turn around and you're tiny

Turn around and you're grown

Turn around, you're a young wife

With babes of your own

Turn around and you're tiny

Turn around and you're grown

Turn around, you're a young wife

With babes of your own

Where are you going

My little ones, little ones

Where have they gone

Our children, my own

Turn around and they're young

Turn around and they're old

Turn around and they've gone

And we've no one to hold

Turn around and they're young

Turn around and they're old

Turn around and they've gone

And we've no one to hold

Where are you going my little one, little one

Where are you going my baby my own

Turn around and you're two,

Turn around and you're four

Turn around and you're a young girl

Going out of the door Turn around (turn around)

Turn around (turn around)

Turn around and you're a young girl

Going out of the door Where are you going my little one, little one

*Dirndls* and petticoats, where have you gone

Turn around and you're tiny,

Turn around and you're grown

Turn around and you're a young wife

With babes of your own Turn around and you're a young

Turn around and you're a young wife

With babes of your own Where are you going my little one, little one

Where are you going my baby my own

Turn around and you're two,

Turn around and you're four

Turn around and you're a young girl

Going out of my door
