Subject: Song, "When the wagon was new."
This is the work of Tim Ausburn.
Written by William York, sung and recorded by Sam and Kirk McGee.
WHEN THE WAGON WAS NEW
(G) There's an old rusty wagon, that's (C) left to rot a- (G) way,
It's the one the family rode in, back (A7) in the good old (D7) days,
(G) People all loved the neighbors, every- (C) body was so (G) free,
And ridin' in a brand new wagon was (D7) something to (G) see. (G7)
Chorus:
(C) I can see my Daddy sittin' on the wagon (G) seat,
(A7) Mom in an old sunbonnet, she (D7) looked so nice and neat,
(G) Children all in the wagon, Grand- (C) ma and Grandpa (G) too,
Oh, we used to go to church on Sunday,
When the (D7) wagon was (G) new.
Red wheels were on the wagon, and the body was green,
And we were just as happy as ridin' in a limosine,
People used to gather 'round, from over the mountainside,
Take a look at the brand new wagon, and all take a ride.
Repeat chorus:
The automobiles are here now and the wagon days are through,
The airplanes are a-hummin', good neighbors are so few,
Everybody's in a hurry, it's money that takes you through,
But we didn't need much money, when the wagon was new.
Repeat chorus:
