To Morrow - The Kingston Trio

I started on a journey about a year ago

To a little town called Morrow in the State of Ohio

I've never been much of a traveler

And I really didn't know

That Morrow was the hardest place

I'd ever try to go

So I went down to the station

For my ticket and applied

For tips regarding Morrow

Not expecting to beguiled

Said I "My friend

I'd like to go to Morrow and return

No later than tomorrow

For I haven't time to burn "

Said he to me

"Now 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

For the train that goes to

Morrow is a mile upon its way

"If you had gone to Morrow

Yesterday now don't you see

You could have gone to Morrow

And returned today at three

For the train today to Morrow

If the schedule is right

Today it goes to Morrow

And returns tomorrow night "

Said I "My friend it seems to me

You're talking through your hat

There is a town named

Morrow on the line now tell me that "

"There is " said he

"but take from me a quiet little tip

To go from here to Morrow is a 14 hour trip

"The train today to Morrow leaves today at 8:35

At half-past ten tomorrow is the time it should arrive

So if from here to Morrow is a fourteen hour jump

Can you go today to Morrow

And get back today you chump "

Said I "I'd like to go to Morrow so can I go today

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

"Well well " said he to me "

And I've got no more to say

Can't get anywhere tomorrow

And get back again today "

Said I "I guess you know it all

But kindly let me say

How can I get to Morrow

If I leave this town today "

Said he "You cannot go to Morrow any more today

'Cause 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

That man was right in telling me that I was a howling jay

I could not go to Morrow so I guess in town I'll stay
