Rufus Wainwright - Katonah lyrics

[Rufus Wainwright - Katonah lyrics]

I'm going to Katonah to bury Jack Johnson
And give his poor Mama a moment's distraction
I once took the Taconic
When I was a teenager
Down to Katonah, to see her and her young son

Now I'm driving North, it was South before
I remember the tolls and digging for quarters
Now I'm digging for more

Who would have ever thought
Looking at the shot of Jack
As a baby with his grandmother
Sitting on the outer reach of Westchester

I'm going to Katonah to bury Jack Johnson
And give his poor Mama a moment's distraction
