Morning Morgantown Lyrics
When morning comes to Morgantown
The merchants roll their awnings down
The milktrucks make their morning rounds
In morning, Morgantown
We'll rise up early, with the sun
To ride the bus while everyone is yawning
And the day is young
In morning, Morgantown
Morning Morgantown
Buy your dreams a dollar down
Morning any town you name
Morning's just the same
We'll find a table in the shade
And sip our tea and lemonade
And watch the morning on parade
In morning, Morgantown
Ladies in their rainbow fashions
Colored stop and go lights flashing
We'll wink at total strangers passing in
Morning, Morgantown
Morning Morgantown
Buy your dreams a dollar down
Morning any town you name
Morning's just the same
I'd like to buy you everything
A wooden bird with painted wings
A window full of colored rings
In morning, Morgantown.
But the only thing I have to give
To make you smile, to win you with
Are all the mornings still to live
In morning, Morgantown
The merchants roll their awnings down
The milktrucks make their morning rounds
In morning, Morgantown
To ride the bus while everyone is yawning
And the day is young
In morning, Morgantown
Buy your dreams a dollar down
Morning any town you name
Morning's just the same
And sip our tea and lemonade
And watch the morning on parade
In morning, Morgantown
Colored stop and go lights flashing
We'll wink at total strangers passing in
Morning, Morgantown
Buy your dreams a dollar down
Morning any town you name
Morning's just the same
A wooden bird with painted wings
A window full of colored rings
In morning, Morgantown.
To make you smile, to win you with
Are all the mornings still to live
In morning, Morgantown

Lovely song. Gods, but she's a genius. :-)
The myth that Joni actually visited Morgantown,West Virginia,has taken on a life of its own.Im glad they can convince folks that it's true,but I say......prove it.Its just a great song ,with great lyrics,melody and song title.Period.

It's about Morgantown, WV, where she went to college (West Virginia University).
She didn't attend WVU. She went to art college in Calgary (she's Canadian).

However, the song is probably about Morgantown, West Virginia, despite JM having no ties to it.
