The I Don't Know Where I'm Going But I'm Goin' Nowhere In a Hurry Blues |
Miss Beverly Jones had a PhD in Physics |
And she went to town to look for some work |
Everyplace she applied they said that she was qualified |
To be a secretary or a clerk |
The word got out on the day she was born |
But she was twenty years getting the news |
And the «I don’t know where I’m going |
But I’m going nowhere in a hurry» blues |
My friend Fred felt lucky last Tuesday |
And he took himself out to the track |
He was armed with a hot tip and a hundred dollar bill |
But that boy had to hitchhike back |
The horse that he bet on was leading all the way |
And then it threw off one of its shoes |
And got the «I don’t know where I’m going |
But I’m going nowhere in a hurry» blues |
And it’s I don’t know where I’m going |
I do not know how long the journey will last |
And it’s I don’t know where I’m going |
The future’s one big mirror of the past |
And I’ve been losing so long, that it looks just like winning |
Kick me again and I’ll come up grinning |
All my time I’ve spent standing still |
Its the world that’s spinnin' round so fast |
And it was on a Sunday morning |
About a hundred years ago |
The message came without a warning |
Though everybody’d told him so |
The last thing that General Custer said |
When he looked up and saw all the Sioux |
Was, «I don’t know where I’m going |
But I’m going nowhere in a hurry too». |
A fatal dose of the «I don’t know where I’m going |
But I’m going nowhere in a hurry» blues. |
