This Mornin', This Evenin', So Soon Lyrics - Kingston Trio

Carl Sandburg 

Tell old Bill when he leaves home this mornin', tell old Bill when he leaves home this evenin', 

Tell old Bill when he leaves home to let those downtown girls alone, this mornin', this evenin', so soon. 

Old Sal was bakin' bread this mornin'. Old Sal was bakin' bread this evenin'. 

Old Sal was bakin' bread when she got word that Bill was dead, this mornin', this evenin', so soon. 

Oh, no! It can't be so this mornin'. Oh, no! It can't be so this evenin'. 

Oh, no! It can't be so. My Bill left home about an hour ago, this mornin', this evenin', so soon.
