Winters Get Hard In New England

Informal Bootleg: Early Demos 1973
Early Demos 1973

Lyrics

Well, there are some towns in Cape Cod
Where parents take their children
Musicians take their girlfriends
Oh, cool at night, take a sweater

Oh, now, winters get hard in New England
But summers should be better
Well, hot today, well the man says,
Cool at night, take a sweater

I said, a batting range in Saugus
Captivates little egg-head
Parents supervise him
They won't leave him alone

Winters get hard in New England
Summers should be better
Well, hot today at Nantasket
Cool at night, take a sweater

Oh well, the summer nights are very mysterious
Your girlfriend could hide and go bye-bye
Or travel through dreamland and darkness
And leave you with smell of the ocean

Oh now, winters get hard in New England
Summers should be better
Hot today at Nantasket,
Cool at night, take a sweater

So take the station wagon
Take her along for the weekend
Well traffic is heavy, leave early now, baby
And you gotta be back for the night shift

Winters get hard in New England
But summer should be better
Well, hot today at Nantasket
Cool at night, take a sweater 

All right, bye-bye
