Now Then Sweet Man/Mr. Garfield Lyrics by The Insect Trust

Hoboken Saturday Night

1970

My train [?]
Daddy, gonna meet you all the way
Been a long winter but the green is coming up now
Had to save the city but now I’m here to say
I’ll stay, I’ll stay
Took my [?]
[?] diesel [?]
Engineer waving cos I’ve seen him for the last time
Hold me down daddy, everything is okay
I’ll stay, I’ll stay
Took my love and driving in the lily
[?], now daddy put your worries all away
Been a lonely winter but the empty time is gone now
Put the [?] behind, come and show you another way
I’ll stay, I’ll stay
Well, I was walkin' down the street the other day
And I heard report of a pistol
I said to myself, “what could that mean?"
Friend of mine run up to me all excited
Like he’d give me something sort of like this:
Well Mr. Garfield’s been shot down, my oh my oh
Mr. Garfield's been shot down, my oh
Hell says I, we’d better go over to his house
And see how he’s a doing
We went in, he way laying up on the couch
I says, “Mr. Garfield, how you’re doing?”
He looked up to me, sort of sad like
And gave me something sort of like this:
Well I’m feeling mighty low down low
I’ve been shot down mighty low down low
