but
A song
by John Hartford
Now someday my baby, when I am a man,
And others have taught me the best that they can
They'll sell me a suit, and they'll cut off my hair
And they'll send me to work in tall building.
So it's good-bye to the sunshine
Good-bye to the dew
Good-bye to the flowers and good-bye to you
I'm off to the subway, I must not be late
I'm going to work in tall building.
Now when I retire, my life is my own
I've paid all my payments, its time to go home
I'll wonder what happened, betwixt and between
I went off to work in tall building.
