THE OLD BRASS WAGON Sung by: W.P. Detherow Recorded in Batesville, AR, 6/25/52 (Mr. Detherow: "This is an old ring play song where anyway from eight to sixteen play in it, and they're all supposed to sing, and it's called, "The Old Brass Wagon." It goes like this.") Lead them through with the old brass wagon, Lead them through with the old brass wagon, Lead them through with the old brass wagon, You're the one, my darling. One wheel off and the axle dragging, One wheel off and the axle dragging, One wheel off and the axle dragging, You're the one, my darling. Right and left through with the old brass wagon, Right and left through with the old brass wagon, Right and left through with the old brass wagon, You're the one, my darling. Once and a half with the old brass wagon, Once and a half with the old brass wagon, Once and a half with the old brass wagon, You're the one, my darling. All run away with the old brass wagon, All run away with the old brass wagon, All run away with the old brass wagon, You're the one, my darling. Also found in Randolph, Vol. III, #527, "The Old Brass Wagon." |
