Papa bought him a great big nanny goat;
The doggone goat and it et tin cans
Wasn't very long around our home
The doggone goat found a Ford sedan
Ha, ha, hablow your horn;
The doggone Ford just a-rattled right along
Ha, ha, hablow your horn;
The doggone Ford just a-rattled right along
Give it a little oil, little water and gas
Wasn't a thing on the road that Ford couldn't pass
Let out the clutch, took my foot off the brake;
The next thing it passed was a Cadillac eight
Ha, ha, hablow your horn;
The doggone Ford just a-rattled right along
Ha, ha, hablow your horn;
The doggone Ford just a-rattled right along
Road was muddy and a-pourin' down rain
Had a head-on collision with a Southern train;
Smashed my radiator, blowed out my tires;
Didn't need nothin' but a little piece of wirе
Ha, ha, hablow your horn;
The doggone Ford just a-rattled right along
Ha, ha, hablow your horn;
Thе doggone Ford just a-rattled right along
I rode down South and I run into the sand;
Couldn't a thing pull through but my Ford sedan
Filled her up with Woco Pep;
The damned old thing's been a-runnin' till yet
Ha, ha, hablow your horn;
The doggone Ford just a-rattled right along
Ha, ha, hablow your horn;
The doggone Ford just a-rattled right along
