woman next door

came to a field of posies

i asked them how they grow

some said by the sunshine

some said i don't know

came to a field of robins

asked if i'd ever fly

some said never never

some said by-and-by

some said by-and-by

out on the open road

in love with the women next door

oh bittersweet

came to field of scholars

i ask them how they grow

some said by confucius

some said by thoraeu

i read the harvard news

inquired in the new york post

one said harry potter

one said exit ghost

one said exit ghost

out on the open road

in love with the woman next door

oh bittersweet

came to field of shadows

and asked them for their names

one said andy kaufmann

one said henry james

came to a field of judges

i sang with all my might

some said i ain't got it

some said i'm all right

some said i'm all right

out on the open road

in love with the woman next door

oh bittersweet
