to Morrow Yosemite Camp Song
I started on a journey about a year ago
To the little town of Morrow in the state of Ohio
Now I wasn’t much on travelling and I really didn’t know
That Morrow had been ridiculed a century ago
I went down to the station for my ticket and applied
For tips regarding Morrow not expecting to be guide
Said I young man I’d like to go to Morrow and return,
not later than tomorrow cuz 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
Cuz the train that goes to Morrow is a mile upon its way
If you had started yesterday to Morrow don’t you see
You could have gone to Morrow and returned today at 3:00
But the train today to Morrow if the schedule is alright
today it gets to Morrow and comes back tomorrow night
Said I my boy it seems to me you’re talking through your hat
Is there a town named Morrow on your line now tell me that?
There is said he but take from me quite a little tip
To go from here to Morrow is a fourteen hour trip
The train today to Morrow leaves today 8:35
Half after ten tomorrow is the time it should arrive
And if from here to Morrow is a fourteen hour jump
Can you go today to Morrow and come back today my boy?
Said I, I want to go to Morrow, can I go today?
And get to Morrow by tonight if there is no delay?
Well, well said he explained to me and I’ve no more to say
Can you go anywhere tomorrow and come back again today?
Said I, I guess you know it all, but kindly let me say
How can I go to Morrow if I leave the town today?
Said he you cannot go to Morrow anymore today
Cuz 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
The man was right in telling me I was a howling jay
And I didn’t go to Morrow so I guess I’ll go today
