Gather my clothes from the bottom drawer Hang my fiddle up on the wall Lay the mandolin in the mandolin case Take my jacket from the bedroom door And hang it out in the hall Tomorrow they're moving me to Providence Place We've always walked in circles Destinations never change I've known this place for ages But I can't recall its name Dear old friend let's not pretend What's left of our youth gone And vanished away like winter in May My dear friend good things will end I guess we'd better say so long It's many a stage we've sang and played We've always played in circles That seldom ever change I've known this tune for ages But I can't recall its name We've always talked in circles Conversations never change I've known you for ages But I can't recall your name
