| Notes: | Classic wordplay song that rewards clear enunciation. Best delivered with exaggerated seriousness as the logic spirals. Works well as a solo or small-group feature song rather than a full shout-along. |

G Em7/ D7 G/ G/ G
I Gstarted on a journey, a-Cbout a year a-Ggo
To the Glittle town called Morrow, in the Dstate of Ohio
I've Gnever been much of a traveler, and I Creally didn't Gknow
That CMorrow was the Ghardest place I'd D7ever try to Ggo
/ G Em7/ D7 G
So I Emwent down to the Bmstation, for my Emticket and ap-Bmplied
For Emtips regarding BmMorrow, not ex-A7pecting to be Dguyed
Said GI, "My friend, I'd like to go to CMorrow and re-Gturn
No Clater than to-Gmorrow, for I D7haven't time to Gburn
Said Ghe to me, "Now let me see if CI have heard you Gright
You'd Glike to go to Morrow and re-Dturn tomorrow night
You Gshould have gone to Morrow yester-Cday and back to-Gday
For the Ctrain that goes to GMorrow is a D7mile upon its Gway
If Emyou had gone to BmMorrow yester-Emday now don't you Bmsee
You Emcould have gone to BmMorrow and re-A7turned today at Dthree
For the Gtrain today to Morrow, if the Cschedule is Gright
To-Cday it goes to GMorrow and re-D7turns tomorrow Gnight."

Said GI, "My friend, it seems to me you're Ctalking through your Ghat
There Gis a town named Morrow on the Dline, now tell me that"
"There Gis," said he, "but take from me a Cquiet little Gtip
To Cgo from here to GMorrow is a D7fourteen hour Gtrip
The Emtrain today to BmMorrow leaves to-Emday at eight thirty-Bmfive
At Emhalf-past ten to-Bmmorrow is the A7time it should ar-Drive
So Gif from here to Morrow is a Cfourteen hour Gjump
Can you Cgo today to GMorrow and get D7back today, you Gchump?"
/ G Em7/ D7 G/ G/ G
Said GI, "I'd like to go to Morrow but Ccan I go to-Gday
And Gget to Morrow by tonight if Dthere is no delay?"
"Well Gwell," said he to me, "and I've Cgot no more to Gsay
Can you get Canywhere to-Gmorrow and get D7back again to-Gday?"
Said EmI, "I guess you Bmknow it all, but Emkindly let me Bmsay
How Emcan I get to BmMorrow if I A7leave this town to-Dday?"
Said Ghe, "You cannot go to Morrow Cany more to-Gday
'Cause the Ctrain that goes to GMorrow is a D7mile upon its Gway."
I Emwas so disap-Bmpointed, I was Emmad enough to Bmswear
The Emtrain had gone to BmMorrow and had A7left me standing Dthere
The Gman was right in telling me that CI was a howling Gjay
I Ccould not go to GMorrow, so I D7guess in town I'll Gstay
