Corey's Coming - Harry Chapin[00:00:00]

Old john Joseph was a man with two first names[00:00:13]

They left him in the railroad yard when they took away the trains[00:00:18]

And only one run a week comes on roaring down that line[00:00:23]

So all he got to worry 'bout is time[00:00:28]

I come by in the evening to hear 'bout where hes been[00:00:33]

He says come on sit down kid where shall I begin[00:00:38]

He starts telling me the stories of the glories of his past[00:00:42]

But he always saves the story of his Corey for the last[00:00:47]

And he says my Corey's coming[00:00:52]

No more sad stories coming[00:00:55]

My mid-night moonlight morning glory's coming aren't ya girl[00:00:59]

And like I told you when she holds you she enfolds you in her world[00:01:04]

I was quite surprised to find out all the places that he knew[00:01:23]

And so I asked the towns folk if his stories were true[00:01:28]

Well they said old john was born here hes lived here all his life[00:01:33]

He's never had a woman let alone a wife[00:01:38]

And very soon you'll find out as you check around[00:01:43]

That no one named Corey's ever lived in this town[00:01:48]

So I chided the old man 'bout the truth that I had heard[00:01:52]

But he smiled and said reality is only just a word[00:01:57]

Can't you see my Corey's coming[00:02:02]

No more sad stories coming[00:02:05]

My mid-night moonlight morning glory's coming aren't ya girl[00:02:08]

And like I told you when she holds you she enfolds you in her world[00:02:14]

I came by one evening but he did not hear my shout[00:02:25]

I looked in the window and I saw the fire was out[00:02:30]

When he would not wake up I forced in the door[00:02:35]

And I saw that old john joseph would tell stories no more[00:02:39]

The scene at the graveyard just three of us were there[00:02:46]

Me and the grave digger we heard the parson's prayer[00:02:51]

He said we need not grieve for this man for we know that god cared[00:02:56]

They put the cold dirt over him and left me on my own[00:03:09]

And when at last I looked up I saw I was not alone[00:03:14]

So I said if your a relative he had a peaceful end[00:03:19]

That's when she said my name is Corey you can say I'm just a friend[00:03:25]

Corey's coming[00:03:38]

No more sad stories coming[00:03:41]

My mid-night moonlight morning glory's coming aren't ya girl[00:03:46]

And like I told you when she holds you she enfolds you in her world[00:03:57]

So that's the old man's story I'm glad you came tonight[00:04:22]

You see a busted down old railroad yard sure makes a lonely sight[00:04:27]

You may wonder why a young man would work out here alone[00:04:32]

Well the job pays enough to keep some flesh on my bones[00:04:37]

And I confess I get to missing the old man a bit[00:04:43]

And theres one other reason I guess I could admit[00:04:47]

Can't you see my Corey's coming[00:04:54]

No more sad stories coming[00:04:57]

My mid-night moonlight morning glory's coming aren't ya girl[00:05:00]

And like he told me when she holds me she enfolds me in her world[00:05:07]
