To-Morrow 09/07/2005 06:31 PM CDT
This song isn't really doable in-game, but it's too good to not share.
Cursory research has shown it credited to at least two different folk singers (Bob Gibson, Americanizing an older version by Iain C. MacKintosh), but I heard it on the first season of the Muppet Show. Hehe.


Tomorrow

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 today 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,' he said 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 anymore today
For the train today 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 howlin' jay.
You cannot go to Morrow!' so I guess in town I'll stay.
