Subject: Lyr Add: 30,000 POUNDS OF BANANAS (Harry Chapin) From: Owlkat Date: 13 Jan 00 - 02:09 AM Thirty Thousand Pounds of Bananas Words and music by Harry Chapin
It was just after dark when the truck started down
He was a young driver, just out on his second job.
He passed a sign that he should have seen,
He was picking speed as the city spread its twinkling lights below him.
He barely made the sweeping curve that led into the steepest grade.
You know the man who told me about it on the bus, |

I got to meet Harry just a couple weeks before his death - he was in Ft. Pierce, FL for a concert and I won tickets and a chance to be in the DJ booth when he was being interviewed by the local radio station. pax yall |
