The Kingston Trio 
From their 1964 LP. "Time To Think"
Words and Music by Harry Belafonte, Alan Greene, and Malvina Reynolds


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 goin’ 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

Note: *dirndl*--a full-skirted dress with a tight bodice.  Diminutive of Old High 
German “Dirne”-girl.  Pronounced “DEERN-dull” in English.
