Betty Buckley - The Surrey With The Fringe On Top download mp3

Lyrics

Chicks and ducks and geese better scurry
When I take you out in the surrey
When I take you out in the surrey with the fringe on top
Watch that fringe and see how it flutters
When I drive them high steppin' strutters
Nosey pokes’ll peek through their shutters and their eyes will pop
The wheels are yellow, the upholstery’s brown
The dashboard’s genuine leather
With isinglass curtains you can roll right down
In case there’s a change in the weather
Two bright sidelight’s winkin' and blinkin'
Ain’t no finer rig I’m a-thinkin'
You can keep your rig if you’re thinkin' that I’d care to swap
For that shiny little surrey with the fringe on the top
I can see the stars gettin' blurry
When we ride back home in the surrey
Drivin' slowly home in the surrey with the fringe on top
I can feel the day gettin' older
Feel a sleepy head on my shoulder
Noddin', droopin' close to my shoulder 'til it falls kerplop
The sun is swimmin' on the rim of a hill
The moon is takin' a header
And just as I’m thinkin' all the earth is still
A lark’ll wake up in the medder
Hush, you bird, my baby’s a-sleepin'
Maybe got a dream worth a-keepin'
Whoa, you team, and just keep a-creepin' at a slow clip clop
Don’t you hurry with the surrey with the fringe on the top
