--- I cannot tell you how many tries it took to not stumble over the words. This is a novelty song written by Lew Sully in 1898 and recorded by Dan W. Quinn in 1902. The Kingston Trio sang it as well as The Muppets. Its called “I’d Like To Go To Morrow”. I have no idea why i need to sing this with sn accent, it just comes out that way. 😂 #noveltysong #tomorrow #nostalgia #comfort | |||
Lyrics: (the captions won’t help with this song!) | |||
I started on a journey just about a year ago | |||
To a little town called Morrow in the state of Ohio. | |||
I've never been much of a traveller 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 be guyed. | |||
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 gets to Morrow and returns tomorrow night." | |||
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 I said to him, 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 anymore today | |||
for 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 it left me standing there. | |||
The man was right in tellin' me "you are a howling jay, | |||
You cannot go tomorrow." Well I guess in town I'll stay. | |||
