Bob and Jerry's

Bob's

I'd rather be in some dark hollow
Where the sun don't never shine
Than to be at home alone, just knowing that she's gone
That would cause me to lose my mind . . .

So blow your whistle freight train
Take me far on down the track
I'm going away, I'm leaving today
I'm going but I ain't coming back

Jerry's

I'd rather be in some dark hollow
Where the sun don't ever shine
Than to be in some big city
In a small room with a girl on my mind

Jerry's lyrics differ from Bob's and apparently this lyric comes from a folk song recorded as early as 1929 and dating back long before (See here). But it's on my iPod and in my head.

And now, I'm listening to China Doll:

A pistol shot at five o'clock
The bells of heaven ring
Tell me what you done it for
No I won't tell you a thing . . .

Take up your china doll
It's only fractured
Just a little nervous from the fall
