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
