Kingston Trio To Morrow Lyrics

To Morrow Lyrics

Bob Gibson



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 me a quiet little tip. To go from
here to Morrow is a fourteen hour trip.



The train today to Morrow leaves today at eight thirty-five. 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
YOU 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.

HE HAD NO RIGHT in telling me that I was a-howling jay. I could not go to
Morrow so I guess in town I'll stay.
