[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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"
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
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"
[Verse 5]
Said I, "My friend, it seems to me you're talkin' 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"
