Lyrics:
Well I'm on my way, I don't know where I'm going
I'm on my way, I'm taking my time, but I don't know where
Goodbye to Rosie, the queen of Corona
Seein' me and Julio down by the schoolyard
Seein' me and Julio down by the schoolyard
#PaulSimon #MeandJulioDownbytheSchoolyard #OfficialAudio
This was my grandmothers favorite song, she sang this whenever it came on the radio, every last lyric. She just recently past away and I’m listening to this song for her. The amount of nostalgia and serotonin this song is surreal.
Groovy Grandma!
👍
She had great taste 😊😊
This is a superb piece of songwriting. Simon shows he can rock with the best of 'em..
Rest up good lady of heaven🙏❤️🙏
My mom loved this guy, so everytime I hear him randomly I miss her a little bit, rip mom
Long road trips with my mom across Washington is how I remember this one. One of my favorite songs
My Mom too, hehehe they knew what was good.
my parents did too... my mom was a literal Queen of Corona. Song makes me miss them both.
@@benkempf this is still my dad's favorite song or you can call me al
♥️
The way he actually pronounced Julio makes my little Spanish heart melt with joy❤️
NotVeryMJ sounds like Mercurio
I was just thinking how I love the way he says Julio.
L
I think he actually must have known someone named Julio :)
How else would he say it?
This song is TIMELESS. Who writes music like this anymore. Who COULD?
There are a lot of great artists out right now they are just harder to find because there is so much music out there and we aren't reliant on radio anymore. With that being said, Paul is in a class of his own.
Jeremy Adam there’s just simply mostly garbage to wade through. It’s all homogenous, thoughtless tripe that will assault your intelligence/sanity if given the chance. The subtle deprogramming of anything human/art.
Post Malone my ninja

No one, keep it down, babies are trying to sleep.
Why no one it’s talking about that crunchy bass?? So delightful
This is the most brilliant description ever!!!!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Luv, ya Montreal!!!!! - Vancouver
Paul Simon is one of the greatest songwriters to ever pick up a pen.
all time top 5 or above no doubt!
At the turn of the century, going into the 2000s America was looking to put an American songwriter on a coin. It came down to Bob Dylan and Paul Simon and Paul got the nod.
Yes up there with the great song writers just love this song
I have a book of his lyrics. Reads like poetry.
Right? Genius
I actually thought this song was a figment of my imagination for a long time. no one else knew it. I finally found it on the internet.
see all songs are like that to me. lol
Are you threatening me?
It's a song everyone knows but nobody knows
Born in 1962. I've always loved it. Many people have forgotten it. I roller skated my arse off to this.
I used to just randomly hear this song on the radio all the time while growing up ...I never put two and two together and figured out it was a paul simon tune ...
My beautiful mommy used to sing this to me when I was a little girl. She passed away in 2014 this is one of favorite songs!! RIP my sweet Mommy ❤❤❤
I am sure she is watching you from above. Sending you a big hug.
God Bless you and your mom!💋💖 me and my mom bonded over a couple of songs, it's important!!
I'm so sorry you lost your Mom, life isn't the same! My mom passed in 1984, I had my first child in 84.
I completely understand where you see that!! We had a few songs we both loved & came to appreciate that she would sing silly songs with me, like Males eat oaks & does eat oaks & little lamb's eat ivy.
Thanks for the memories!!
@@judimurphy8338 how sweet 😋, but I think it is mares eat oats, either way, my mom used to flub words to songs and it was some of the best laughs I had, God Bless Moms, mine is gone too and I have hilarious memories and her comments about Pink Floyd and Harry James "I've heard that song before "
@@judimurphy8338 p.s. I thought for a long time it was mairsey doats and dozy doats, lol
"I don't know where I'm going, but I'm on my way."
That line is seemingly contradictory. But when you've lived a long time, you realize how much sense it makes.
Yes when older, but different when younger . If u get ma drift 👍👋
Loved the Latin rhythms
I'm lost, but I'm making great time!
@@pugsymalone6539😂
I had a friend fellow carpenter, noted because that's the time it would it would arrive, considering a problem and undecided he would proclaim his frustration with," I'm gonna do something, even if it's wrong!"
It didn't used to be one of my favorites but it's grown a lot on me.
My kitty is named Julio because of this song. Lol! Found him by a school yard!
Cutest Name Story for a Pet, Ever!!!
Sweet! ❤ Hey there, Julio! ( Ray Stevens).
My husband’s name is Julio. When I first met my husband I was so in love with him, I was looking for any song that had his name in it and this was the only one I came across. I instantly loved it. I’m embarrassed to say this is how I actually discovered Paul Simon, and now I am a huge fan of all of his music. 🎼🖤
That's sweet
Thats actually pretty beautiful
What a lovely story. Thank you for sharing.
That is cute! Just out of curiosity you know this song is about 2 guys running train on an underage girl right?
Still Crazy After All These Years......I get it , and GOOD FOR YOU AND JULIO💋💖
That's the way that true black music sounds. Thank you Paul Simon.
No only is his songwriting and musical skills great and I appreciate his diction when singing too. The emphasis on a word's ending is fun to hear. Paul Simon is a national treasure.
International treasure buddy!
Yes I agree his diction is so clear and precise which makes it easier to hear all the words of the songs of which there always plenty. His attention to his diction certainly pays off especially in the oo sound which he does with refinement. His articulation is perfect.
Well said. He is isn’t he!
Brah, intergalactic treasure!!!

Wow, I know no one will read this but, this song helped me get through a lot. It’s my favorite song, and it’s in my favorite movie. When I was little I loved the Muppets 2011, and I recently rewatched it. I was in a really big funk and it lit up the rest of my day. This song stood out. It’s now my happy song, I listen to it and everything feels, okay. Thank you.
Consider the song as your wellness tool. A wellness tool is a gift that few people know or learn to help themselves. Congratulations 👏🏼
This was one of my dads favorites too. He passed away a month ago. Im listening to this with a sad joy.
I love the muppets as well! I remember I used to talk to Kermit. A few people still think I do, and I admit I still pretend to.
@@twylap2621 "The Muppets" (2011). It was in several other movies, but this is the one mentioned in OC.
Lol I thought you were gonna say Royal Tenenbaums but you know what, if Muppets 2011 is your happy movie then it works too.
Paul Simon, a National Treasure!
agreed 100%......
When life pisses me off, I listen to this song and get happy again!
I agree :)
Francesco G. Such an upbeat beat to it!!!
Absolutely!!
Francesco G. Thank you for the idea 💡 ! Gonna be my new good mojo song😂
Francesco G. Paul Simon is a beast 👍
Paul Simon is one of the best song writers in the WORLD
Nicest guy ever.
Met him in Ace Hardware a couple of weeks ago,
He shook my baby girl's hand!
True story.
You met Julio!?!
@Lawson carpenter No, he met Paul Simon down by the hardware store.
But he met Julio down by the schoolyard.
Great story 😊
What would Paul Simom possibly need at a hardware store
@@86eastbay Honestly I am not sure, was too starstruck to look at his purchases. They do have a lovely red licorice from Australia, if nothing else.
And I'm on my way
I don't know where I'm going
I'm on my way
I'm taking my time
But I don't know where
As someone living with a mental illness for some reason this echoes through my mind. Pulling yourself out of depression is definitely a journey with no tangible destination and I feel like this song is cheering me on.
You put it perfectly.. pulling yourself out of depression is a journey with no tangible destination.. thank you..
You're not alone as I'm no stranger to depression myself.
Ok batman you and J7 PD CA thanks for making me giggle 🙏🏼🏞️⛰️☀️🛡️
As a person with mental health issues, I love this so much: "The broken are the more evolved."
Who knows? People with mental health struggles could eventually be the ones on top!
So true! Whenever I take the time to write a little poem or thoughts even, I find myself wanting to write those words in a sort of rhyme. It's not so much a feeling of being lost, but like I'm unsure of how to take my future into consideration
I woke up with this in my head- so glad I did. I hadn’t heard it in years and it sounded even better than I remember. I love how the guitar sounds.
I f*kin' love this song and I named my 1st dog Julio because of it. True story - 2 days after my dog Julio died, I went into a convenience store on the way home from work and THIS SONG was playing in the convenience store on the radio. That's weird, cuz you almost NEVER hear this song playing on the radio! I think Julio was trying to tell me he was OK.
Amazing
Trust me , he was.......
That’s amazing. Thanks for sharing your story! I had something similar happen to me. Bless you and your fur baby Julio. 🐾❤🎶🌈
oh i LOVE that story...
What a beautiful story
Didn’t they record this at Mussel Shoals, w/ someone who could play the ‘talking drum?’ A NY Jew singing a song about Puerto Ricans in a studio in Alabama. THAT is the USA, folks.
If only world leaders would take note....
Me & Julio actually met in the school yard back in 1964. ❤
Any Royal Tenenbaums fans in here?
Can't believe this only got to #22 in the spring of 72-An undisputed classic!
Paul was a bad dude………I lived on his music….am RADIO WABC HARRY HARRISON……
Great song Rosana Royal Tenenbaums fan here ...
Yes! It's probably my favorite scene in The Royal Tenenbaums...that, and the scene when Royal buys the Dalmatian for Ari and Uzi, after their dog is killed by Eli Cash.
AWESOME movie
“Oh well that’s....thats dogs blood”
Wes Anderson is in a class of his own.
Never met Julio but I knew Rosie the queen of corona. (and the lemon ice king)
My ma's jam. Miss you ma❤
EVERY SINGLE TIME I'M ON THE NYC SUBWAY I PLAY THIS SONG AS A TRIBUTE (if you will) TOWARDS THE GREAT RHYMIN' PAUL SIMON.....HE IS TRULY A MASTER AT WHATEVER IT IS HE CHOOSES TO DO ! ! ! GOD BLESS YOU PAUL SIMON ! !
There are artists who make me laugh. There are artists who make me grin..I'll take the grin anytime. After all these years, I'm still grinning. You go Julio!
This song reminds me of growing up in San Antonio, Texas in the early 70's with my many siblings. Boy, we were a handful! There was an elementary school at the end of the block with a schoolyard that we used to go play at all the time. Happy, wonderful times that I will always treasure. Of course, just like the song goes, every time that I acted up Papi used to threaten to put me in the House of Detention. He passed away in January and Boy do I miss him! Rest in peace Papi!. Thank you Paul for this Great Song!
Yeah, San Antone. Not too far from Uvalde. Happy wonderful times indeed.
Waco here. Condolence’s 🙏
i'm not sure why it's this specific song that stands out the most in my memory, but when i was probably 12, so in probably 1998 (+- 2 years to be honest), i was walking around the national mall in D.C. with my dad. i grew up just outside the city in arlington/fairfax counties, and my dad and i would occasionally make the quick trip downtown when the weather was nice and stop by a few museums, grab lunch, etc. while we were just walking somewhat aimlessly between the washington monument and the capitol, my dad stopped and cocked his head and said "i hear music. it sounds like paul simon. let's go." we followed the sound to a small stage where a few people had gathered to listen, and my dad was understandably surprised to see the actual paul simon up there. i believe he was playing in D.C. that night, and i guess (someone who has followed him more closely can hopefully verify) that was a thing he often did - an unannounced rehearsal the afternoon before a concert. i wish i could have better appreciated what i was experiencing - there were literally less than 30 people nearby enjoying this, and at 12 years old, i didn't know hardly any of his songs besides mrs. robinson and cecilia - but i vividly remember him playing this song and me attempting to quickly learn the lyrics to the chorus so i could impress my dad by appearing to know the song. i'm fortunate enough that i can still spend time with my dad when i want, and music has always been a big part of our relationship, but i want to thank paul for providing me with this memory that i'll never forget
Cool story. Thank you!
Ben Joyce love this story!
that's a cool story man, i saw jack Johnson live at a the Hawaii Kai Mall in the early 2000s, he was playing on the stage next to Charo's Mexican restaurant, it was so fucking cool.
Love...❤️✨🙏😊
Ben Joyce thanks for sharing your wonderful memories, Ben!
My best memory (tbh, my only memory) of this song was when my older sister (who was de facto my mother figure) was taking me to school.. maybe 7th or 8th grade? This came on the radio, and I had to turn it up loud, and she was cool and let me... We had a fucked up family dynamic, which is why she was what she was, lol... but I always loved her, even when she moved away with her husband and kids... I've always felt this was one of my cleanest and brightest memories.... years later, my sister died and was buried a month before I was even told about it... like I said, fucked up family dynamic: she wanted to spare me grief over something I couldn't control, but I wish I'd had a chance to tell her how much she meant to me.
dwakeman1 you just did. She hears you.
She knows how you feel ♥️♥️♥️ I have similar memories of this song. My mom lost custody of us (‘me being the oldest) when I was 9 bc of meth addiction and when she got us back (1 year later) we used to listen to this song in her car. This was a year or two before she got hooked on heroin and she’s been on it ever since. Once of my happy memories of my mom
Thank her every chance you get....................
You were younger then and didn't have the aptitude of thought that you now enjoy. Estrangement brings about a lot of uncertainty. If you feel something, just get it out; don't hold back. It only hurts for a second.
My heart aches so much for you. I'm sure she knew.
It surprises me some people actually don’t know this song.
Yes I am old. I remember when this came out. I even knew someone who's name was Julio... Just a great song. Thank you Paul Simon!
Can't believe this only got to #22 in the spring of 72-An undisputed classic!
He only had to compete with Helen Reddy, Chicago, The Hollies, The Raspberries, Neil Young, The O' Jays, Three Dog Night, Gallery, The Moody Blues, America, Harry Nilsson, Al Green, Sammy Davis, Jr and Don McLean and Gilbert O' Sullivan. Yeah, I'm puzzled too.
@@mustlovepretzels and probably himself!
My dad grew up in Corona in the 1930;s. In the early '40's, my grandparents "moved up" in the world and moved to Flushing.
I play at several bars here in town, I play this song about every time I play, and the younger people love it, Hell they ask all the time, ive never heard that song DID you Write it??? I say no Paul Simon did, they say "Who is Paul Simon?" LOL Good music is played years after its not on radio LOL
Micky DeLoach You are right, it's a Fun Song..
paul where do you live?? I like your comments!
Detroit, grew up in Motown-60's-70's. back before sampling and Auto-Tune. Heh.
Micky Deloach lol most random comment
FUCK U
Love this music...I'm a 70's girl
Fascinating the way this has glided through time unscathed. Unique. Ahead of its time. Way ahead of its time. I love, love, love it.
What a fun return to my childhood!!! I can hear the 8 track tape clicking in the middle of the song LOL!!!!!
My Mom just busted this out the other day ❤..
Paul Simon is brilliant.
Love this song. Listened to it all the time on cassette when I was a young hippie.
When I saw him at Key Arena, I clapped so hard I had a bruised palm the next day.
This song eases me from the Corona ........ This song sure lifts my spirits.
Bahaha
Wtf :/?
The guitar music is so great!
I love the contagious joy in this song.
My name is Julio and folks of a certain age tend to sing this song to me when we meet. It never gets old :)
One of Paul Simon's best solo hits!
I always forget this song exists and I always have a blast rediscovering it.
It’s such a fun and happy song; what’s not to like? 😄
Fantastic dance song!
But what were Paul and Julio up to behind the school bikesheds ?
@@filboe what happens in the schoolyard, STAYS in the schoolyard…
WE WERE THE CHILDREN IN AIR FORCE SYSTEMS COMMAND WHEN THIS SONG WAS OUT..AIR FORCE...LG. HANSCOM FIELD BEDFORD MASSACHUSETTS 1972..
Oh no i seem to have fallen down a hole of nostalgia yet again
I heard this song on TV commercial "I'm on way I don't know where I'm going." I had to a google search to get here. I love Paul Simon's voice.
This great song has a double entendre. Me & Julio sounds like to rambunctious boys in the schoolyard. Yes! Did you know that in parts of New York city, 'julio' is slang for marijuana! Listen to the lyrics! Enjoy this stupendous song. James Deagle
Woke up with this song, and phrase, several days ago in my head! Just call me Al. Glad all you others caught it too. Stay home, be safe. Listen to more music.
To my ears, this was his best song.
No one writes like Paul Simon
Great song Elizabeth ❤️
Damn it Rosie
Taking my time but don't no where
My mom was a Simon and Garfunkel freak when I was a little kid. I remember listening to this when I was 3 or 4 (1973 or 74) and jumping all over the room to the funny sound in the background)
Keep rocking in 2024 them were the good days ♥️👍
Ya know that's right friend ❤😅😅keep good strong always..hahaha ❤❤😊
hahaha ❤
Every time I Im headed out of town on vacation this is the first song I play to bless the trip
Amazing song. First time I heard this was on my grandpa's jukebox in the late 90's when I was a little kid. Will definitely always hold a special place in my heart.
Great vibes
Mr. Simon you are a brilliant song writer. So many awesome songs. Thank you for sharing your gift.
Paul Simon, a true artist in music 🎼 🎵🎶🎤🎧🥁🎸🎹🎺🎻🎷🪗🪘🪕
When you finally get a good speaker and you realize that there actually is bass in this song
My kingdom for a good sound system!
song makes me cry every time... when my dad was drunk, ALWAYS a happy drunk... he would come in the house singing this song... that's how me n my sisters knew he was feeling good..... I WISH I COULD HEAR HIM SING IT ONE MORE TIME... 🙏🙏🙏
One of the greats! Loved it as a 12 year old child, love it still! Paul Simon can't write a bad song!
Well put,FB..............
The happiest sounding song
The perfect song to listen to while cooking since 1972.
And a perfect music to listen to during corona. Rosie was apparently the queen of it.
@@anderslarsen2311 I guess he's talking about the neigborhood wherehe grew up: Corona, Queens, NYC
i cant believe there are 640 people in the world that took the time to dislike this song....its a classic
@Miller EX
The subject matter is pretty grimy, especially for 50 years ago.
I looked up the lyrics I don’t know where I’m going but I’m on my way and I found world war 2 songs that were from the 1910s and I wanted to find this song because I used to listen to this song all the time and I wanted to find it.
Paul Simon is a folk rock icon, seeing me and Julio down by the schoolyard 🎶
that damn Julio will get ya every time 😃😄😅😆😀😊😉
This song makes me feel unconditionally good
paul simon is a national treasure 🤍
A very happy 81st birthday Paul Frederic Simon October 13, 1941, Newark, New Jersey
Many may say you are a modern folk music icon.
But I say you are a musical icon. Music that is timeless..
Who comes up with these lyrics? Paul Simon. Mama pajama?? Frickin genious!! Listen to the rest. Love this jam
One of the GOAT in the music business for sure
Paul Simon a fucking genius! One of the best song writers of my time...
@@burtgaming5857 That's Bettany Simon you undercooked ravioli
Face Bank LMAO! Undercooked ravioli. Imma use that next time if ya don’t mind.
@@avazquez01 you're welcome
He's no Bob dildo but is great
Of ALL time,Tonya..............
This song always makes me want to go around causing mischief with Gene Hackman.
Paul you totally ROCK❤ Love the whistling!
I feel like this songs about multiracial kids who had a natural friendship with each other that other people found shocking at first. I'm black and from the south & I remember all the hullabaloo that went around when I had a close white friend in kindergarten. People can see that kind of thing as "against the law"
This song is about he and Julio getting their weiners eaten by Rosie. Seriously, look up the slang. C0rona=crown (head)
My puppy’s name is Julio! I sing this to him all the time. Lol
I love this song by Paul Simon
Apparently it's about a homosexual relationship. I hope people don't cancel it or boycott it now. Beautiful song. Must have been a story in Newsweek?. I know Simon wrote his Broadway play Capeman based on a newspaper story. Topical, artistic, brilliant. One of the few artists my Mom liked those days. Everything got real dark bc of Vietnam. I just think it's so cool that somebody could blatantly talk about 1 thing and facilitate people feeling/thinking something else. True artistry no matter how u feel about the subject.
It's pretty clear when you listen to the reactions of the parents, in the 60's...
Good, humorous, lighthearted, joyful, catchy sounds so simple yet todays music just can't replicate this as much as it tries
Genuine genius
Man, this guy knew how to put a song together.
Yes, thank Paul Simon for all the joy and insight he has shared with us.
The guitar music is the best ever!
Man we had some serious silly times at the school yard especially that Mo-no the monster incident in 72 💝🌌
Loooove it!!!
You know with how bad the world is right now i kind of forgot happy music existed....i needed to hear this again and im glad i have.
It you're having a shitty day. Just put this on. Play it loud and have a good sing. Works for me.
That bass. Perfect.
My beautiful baby brother Julio, this song makes me think of you and our childhood in Brooklyn. I love you forever, Rest In Peace ♥️
Strumming away from earth 🌎 with smiles and so much love ❣️ and light 💓💓💓💓
One of the catchiest melodies I have heard for a long time!
