It was just after dark when the truck started down[00:00:05]

The hill that leads into Scranton Pennsylvania[00:00:44]

Carrying thirty thousand pounds of bananas[00:00:50]

Carrying thirty thousand pounds[00:00:58]

Hit it Big John[00:01:01]

Of bananas[00:01:03]

He was a young driver[00:01:13]

Just out on his second job[00:01:17]

And he was carrying the next day's pasty fruits[00:01:20]

For everyone in that coal-scarred city[00:01:23]

Where children play without despair[00:01:27]

In backyard slag-piles and folks manage to eat each day[00:01:30]

Just about thirty thousand pounds of bananas[00:01:36]

Yes just about thirty thousand pounds[00:01:44]

Scream it again John[00:01:47]

He passed a sign that he should have seen[00:01:56]

Saying shift to low gear a fifty dollar fine my friend[00:01:58]

He was thinking perhaps about the warm-breathed woman[00:02:04]

Who was waiting at the journey's end[00:02:07]

He started down the two mile drop[00:02:11]

The curving road that wound from the top of the hill[00:02:13]

He was pushing on through the shortening miles that ran down to the depot[00:02:19]

Just a few more miles to go[00:02:25]

Then he'd go home and have her ease his long cramped day away[00:02:28]

And the smell of thirty thousand pounds of bananas[00:02:33]

Yes the smell of thirty thousand pounds of bananas[00:02:41]

He was picking speed as the city spread its twinkling lights below him[00:02:57]

But he paid no heed as the shivering thoughts of the nights[00:03:04]

Delights went through him[00:03:07]

His foot nudged the brakes to slow him down[00:03:10]

But the pedal floored easy without a sound[00:03:12]

He said Christ[00:03:14]

It was funny how he had named the only man who could save him now[00:03:15]

He was trapped inside a dead-end hellslide[00:03:21]

Riding on his fear-hunched back[00:03:24]

Was every one of those yellow green[00:03:26]

I'm telling you thirty thousand pounds of bananas[00:03:29]

Yes there were thirty thousand pounds of bananas[00:03:35]

He barely made the sweeping curve that led into the steepest grade[00:03:53]

And he missed the thankful passing bus at ninety miles an hour[00:04:00]

And he said God make it a dream[00:04:04]

As he rode his last ride down[00:04:08]

And he said God make it a dream[00:04:12]

As he rode his last ride down[00:04:15]

And he sideswiped nineteen neat parked cars[00:04:18]

Clipped off thirteen telephone poles[00:04:21]

Hit two houses bruised eight trees[00:04:22]

And Blue-Crossed seven people[00:04:24]

It was then he lost his head[00:04:25]

Not to mention an arm or two before he stopped[00:04:27]

And he slid for four hundred yards[00:04:36]

Along the hill that leads into Scranton Pennsylvania[00:04:40]

All those thirty thousand pounds of bananas[00:04:46]

You know the man who told me about it on the bus[00:05:01]

As it went up the hill out of Scranton Pennsylvania[00:05:16]

He shrugged his shoulders he shook his head[00:05:23]

And he said[00:05:28]

And this is exactly what he said[00:05:33]

Boy that sure must've been something[00:05:42]

Just imagine thirty thousand pounds of bananas[00:05:47]

Yes there were thirty thousand pounds of mashed bananas[00:05:59]

Of bananas[00:06:04]

Just bananas[00:06:05]

Thirty thousand pounds[00:06:06]

Of Bananas[00:06:31]

Not no driver now[00:06:32]

Just bananas[00:06:38]

From Greatest Stories Live：Ending number one[00:06:41]

Yes we have no bananas[00:06:47]

We have no bananas today[00:06:51]

Spoken：And if that wasn't enough[00:07:03]

Yes we have no bananas[00:07:05]

Bananas in Scranton P A[00:07:14]

From Greatest Stories Live：Ending 2：[00:07:15]

A woman walks into her room where her child lies sleeping[00:07:19]

And when she sees his eyes are closed[00:07:32]

She sits there silently weeping[00:07:35]

And though she lives in Scranton Pennsylvania[00:07:50]

She never ever eats Bananas[00:08:34]

Not one of thirty thousand pounds[00:09:21]

Of bananas[00:10:31]
