The song "I'd Like to Go to Morrow" is a humorous and clever wordplay piece often attributed to Lew Sully (or similar variants of the title). The lyrics describe a traveler who wishes to visit Morrow (a town), leading to a comedic misunderstanding due to the ambiguity between the town's name and the word "tomorrow."
Here are the lyrics and chords for the traditional version of the song:
Verse 1 C I started on a journey about a year ago, G7 To a little town called Morrow in the state of Ohio. C I've never been much of a traveler, and I really didn't know G7 C That Morrow was the hardest place I'd ever try to go.
Verse 2 C So I went down to the station for my ticket and applied G7 For tips regarding Morrow, not expecting to be guyed. C Said I, "My friend, I'd like to go to Morrow and return G7 C No later than tomorrow, for I haven't time to burn."
Chorus F Said he to me, "Now let me see if I have heard you right: C You'd like to go to Morrow and return tomorrow night. G7 You should have gone to Morrow yesterday and back today, C For the train that goes to Morrow is a mile upon its way."
Verse 3 C If I had gone to Morrow yesterday, now don't you see, G7 I could have gone to Morrow and returned today at three, C For the train today to Morrow, if the schedule is right, G7 C Today it goes to Morrow and returns tomorrow night.
This song plays with puns and repetition of "Morrow" and "tomorrow," creating a delightful tangle of humorous confusion.
You can strum these chords in a simple 4/4 time pattern, or adapt it with a more playful rhythm to match the comedic tone.

Verse 5 C "The train today to Morrow leaves today at eight thirty-five, G7 At half-past ten tomorrow is the time it should arrive. C So if from here to Morrow is a fourteen-hour jump, G7 C Can you go today to Morrow and get back today, you chump?"
Verse 6 C Said I, "I want to go to Morrow. Can I go today G7 And get to Morrow by tonight, if there is no delay?" C "Well, well," said he to me, "and I've got no more to say: G7 C You can't go to Morrow any more today!"
Verse 7 C Said I, "Why go to Morrow? I insist on seeing why! G7 It's such a funny town to say, I think I'll go and try!" C But as I went to buy my ticket, sorrow came my way: G7 C The train that goes to Morrow left today and not tomorrow, G7 C And now I guess I'll stay at home and leave the trip for May!
--- 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.
