The Rolling Mills of New Jersey

We admit to responsibility for The Rolling Mills of New Jersey. Matt McGinn wrote The Rolling Hills of the Border. This is not that.


When I die, bury me low
     Where I can hear the petroleum flow
     A sweeter sound I never did know

Enough for you, enough for me.
The garbage cans of New Jersey:

Where the bums come from near and from far
They come by truck, they come by car
The lousy bums of New Jersey:

When first I started to roam

Then I sat down, and wrote this poem
I wrote an ode to New Jersey:
