Compositor: Harry Chapin

It was just after dark when the truck started down
The hill that leads into scranton Pennsylvania
Carrying thirty thousand pounds of bananas
Carrying thirty thousand pounds (hit it big john) of bananas

And he was carrying the next day's pasty fruits
For everyone in that coal-scarred city
