Back in Nineteen Twenty-Seven I had a little farm that I called heaven Well, the prices up and the rain come down And I hauled my crops all into town I got the money Bought clothes and groceries Fed the kids and raised a family Well the rain quit and the wind got high And the black ol' dust storm filled the sky And I swapped my farm for a Ford machine And I poured it full of this gas-i-line And I started, rockin' and a-rollin' Over the mountains, out towards the old Peach Bowl Way up yonder on a mountain road I had a hot motor and a heavy load Got a-goin' pretty fast, there wasn't even stoppin' And a-bouncin' up and down, like popcorn poppin' I had a breakdown, sort of a nervous breakdown of some kind There was a feller there, a mechanic feller Said it was engine trouble Way up yonder on a mountain curve Way up yonder in the piney wood I gave that rollin' Ford a shove And was a-gonna coast as far as I could Commence coastin', pickin' up speed Was a hairpin turn, I didn't make it Well man alive, I'm tellin' you And the fiddles and the guitars really flew And that Ford took off like a flying squirrel And it flew halfway around the world Scattered wives and children All over the side of that mountain We got out to the West Coast broke So doggon' hungry I thought I'd croak So I bummed up a spud or two And my wife fixed up a tater stew We poured the kids full of it Mighty thin stew, though You could read a magazine right through it Well I always have figured that If it'd been just a little bit thinner Some of these here politicians coulda seen right through it
