{C} I started on a journey {F} about a year {C} ago to a little town called {Am} Morrow in the {G} State of Ohio. {C} I’ve never been much of a traveler, and I {F} really didn’t {C} know that Morrow was the {Am} hardest place I’d {G} ever try to {C} go.
So I {Am} went down to the {Em} station for my {Am} ticket and {Em} applied for {Am} tips regarding {Em} Morrow not {D} expecting to {G} beguiled.
Said {C} I, “My friend, I’d like to go to {F} Morrow and {C} return no later than {F} tomorrow for I {G} haven’t time to {C} burn.”
Said {C} he to me, “Now let me see if {F} I have heard you {C} right. You’d like to go to {Am} Morrow and {G} return tomorrow night. {C} You should have gone to Morrow {F} yesterday and back {C} today for the train that goes to {Am} Morrow is a {G} mile upon its {C} way.
If {Am} you had gone to {Em} Morrow {Am} yesterday now don’t you {Em} see, you {Am} could have gone to {Em} Morrow and {D} returned today at {G} three, for the {C} train today to Morrow, if the {F} schd-u-ele is {C} right, today it goes to {F} Morrow and {G} returns tomorrow {C} night.”
{C} Said I, “My friend, it seems to me you’re {F} talking through your {C} hat. There is a town named {Am} Morrow on the {G} line now tell me that.” {C} “There is, ” said he, “but take from me a {F} quiet little {C} tip. To go from here to {Am} Morrow is a {G} fourteen hour {C} trip.
The {Am} train today to {Em} Morrow leaves {Am} today at eight {Em} O-five. At {Am} half-past ten {Em} tomorrow is the {D} time it should {G} arrive.
So {C} if from here to {Am} Morrow is a {F} fourteen hour {C} jump, can you {C} go today to {F} Morrow and get {G} back today, you {C} chump?”
{C} Said I, “I’d like to go to Morrow so {F} can I go {C} today and get to Morrow {Am} by tonight if {G} there is no delay?”
{C} “Well, well, ” said he to me, “and {F} I’ve got no more to {C} say. CAN YOU GET anywhere {F} tomorrow and get {G} back again {C} today?”
{Am} Said I, “I guess you {Em} know it all, but {Am} kindly let me {Em} say, how {Am} can I get to {Em} Morrow if I {D} leave this town {G} today?” Said {C} he, “You cannot {Am} go to Morrow {F} any more {C} today ’cause the {C} train that goes to {F} Morrow is a {G} mile upon its {C} way.”
{Am} I was so {Em} disappointed. I was {Am} mad enough to {Em} swear. The {Am} train had gone to {Em} Morrow and had {D} left me standing {G} there. {C} HE HAD NO RIGHT in {Am} telling me that {F} I was a-howling {C} jay. I {C} could not go to {F} Morrow so I {G} guess in town I’ll {C} stay.
{ G C }
