Lyrics:
Someday, baby, when I am a man
And other's have taught me
The best that they can
They'll sell me a suit
And cut off my hair
And send me to work in tall buildings
And it's goodbye to the sunset
Goodbye to the dew
Goodbye to the flowers
And goodbye to you
I'm off to the subway
I must not be late
Going to work in tall buildings
Now when I retire
And my life is my own
I've paid all of my debts
and It's time to go home
And wonder what happened
Betwixt and between
When I went to work in tall buildings
And it's goodbye to the sunshine
Goodbye to the dew
Goodbye to the flowers
And goodbye to you
I'm off to the subway
I must not be late
Going to work in tall buildings

Love this guy! Beautiful singing and great guitar playing. Pure and straightforward, just like folk music should be!
