I hadn&#039;t been exposed to folk music prior to that and became so interested that I enrolled at Chicago&#039;s, Old Town School of Folk Music later that year.<\/p>\n<p> To Morrow is a traditional American folk song with Irish roots and is here as a tribute to St. Patrick&#039;s Day.<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"lyrics-header\">Lyrics:<\/div>\n<div class=\"lyrics\">\n[D] I started on a journey, [G] about a year [D] ago<br \/>\nTo a little town called Morrow in the [E] state of [A] Ohio<br \/>\nI&#039;ve [D] never been much of a traveller, so I [G] really didn&#039;t [D] know<br \/>\nThat [G] Morrow was the [D] hardest place I&#039;d ever [A] try to [D] go!<\/p>\n<p>I [G] went down to the [D] station  for my [G] ticket and [D] applied<br \/>\nFor [G] tips regarding [D] Morrow  not [E] expecting to be [A] guyed   (means fooled)<br \/>\n[D] Said he to me, &#039;Now let me see if [G] I have heard you [D] right&#8211;<br \/>\nYou&#039;d [G] like to go to [D] Morrow and return [A] tomorrow [D] night&#039;<\/p>\n<p>&#039;You should have gone to Morrow yesterday and back today<br \/>\nFor the train today to Morrow is a mile upon its way&#8230;.<br \/>\nIf you had gone to Morrow yesterday now don&#039;t you see<br \/>\nyou could have gone to Morrow and returned today at three.&#039;<\/p>\n<p>&#039;For the train today to Morrow if the schedule is right<br \/>\nToday it goes to Morrow and returns tomorrow night&#039;<br \/>\nI was so disappointed I was mad enough to swear,<br \/>\nThe train had gone to Morrow and it left me standing there.<\/p>\n<p>The man was right in tellin&#039; me that I was howlin&#039; jay<br \/>\nI could not go to Morrow, so I guess in town I&#039;ll stay.\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How do I download this Mp3?
