26. To Morrow

I started on a journey about a year ago

To the little town of Morrow in the state of Ohio

Now I wasn’t much on travelling and I really didn’t know

That Morrow had been ridiculed a century ago

I went down to the station for my ticket and applied

For tips regarding Morrow not expecting to be guide

Said I young man I’d like togo to Morrow and return,

not later than tomorrow cuz I haven’t time to burn

Said he to menow let me see if I have heard you right

You’d like to go to Morrow and return tomorrow night

You should have gone to Morrow yesterday and back today

Cuz the train that goes to Morrow is a mile upon its way

If you had started yesterday to Morrow don’tyou see

You could have gone to Morrow and returned today at 3:00

But the train today to Morrow if the schedule is alright

today it gets to Morrow and comes back tomorrow night

Said I my boy it seems tome you’re talking through your hat

Is there a town named Morrow on your line now tell me that?

There is said he but take from me quite a little tip

To go from here to Morrow is a fourteen hour trip

The train today to Morrow leaves today 8:35

Half after ten tomorrow is the time it should arrive

And if from here to Morrow is a fourteen hour jump

Can you go today to Morrow and comeback today my boy?

Said I, I want to go to Morrow, can I go today?

And get to Morrow by tonight if there is no delay?

Well, well said he explained to me and I’venomore to say

Can you go anywhere tomorrow and comeback again today?

Said I, I guess you know it all, but kindly let me say

How can I go to Morrow if I leave the town today?

Said he you cannot go to Morrow anymore today

Cuz the train that goes to Morrow is a mile upon its way

I was so disappointed I was mad enough to swear

The train had gone to Morrow and had left me standing there

The man was right in telling me I was a howling jay

And I didn’t go to Morrow so I guess I’ll go today
