Ezra Green and his Ford machine
were the talk of Hayville Station
you could hear the name of Ezra Green
in ev'ry conversation
All because he used to buzz away
courtin' on the sly
the neighbours used to say,
had folks guessin'
till one day
down at the huskin' bee
Young Ezra brought his gal
then he heard somebody yell.

Say young feller
where'd you get that girl
Bless my soul
but she's a peachy pearl
bet my boots you brought her out from town
ain't one like her here for twenty miles around,
come on feller won't you put me wise
any more at home her size?
I'll ber she's got them naughty ways
like the girls in movin' picture plays,
say young feller where'd you make the raise
where did you get that girl?

Say young feller
where'd you get that girl
Bless my soul
but she's a peachy pearl
bet my boots you brought her out from town
ain't one like her here for twenty miles around,
come on feller won't you put me wise
any more at home her size?
I'll ber she's got them naughty ways
like the girls in movin' picture plays,
say young feller where'd you make the raise
where did you get that girl?

Ezra Green with a smile serene
spent the day in blissful pleasure
He knew the rubens all were keen
to steal away his treasure
but he never let her out of sight
had her by the arm
from mornin' until night
showed he knew his game all right,
wide little country jay
when he got home next day
then he heard his daddy say:

Say young feller
where'd you get that girl
Bless my soul
but she's a peachy pearl
bet my boots you brought her out from town
ain't one like her here for twenty miles around,
come on feller won't you put me wise
any more at home her size?
I'll ber she's got them naughty ways
like the girls in movin' picture plays,
say young feller where'd you make the raise
where did you get that girl?

Say young feller
where'd you get that girl
Bless my soul
but she's a peachy pearl
bet my boots you brought her out from town
ain't one like her here for twenty miles around,
come on feller won't you put me wise
any more at home her size?
I'll ber she's got them naughty ways
like the girls in movin' picture plays,
say young feller where'd you make the raise
where did you get that girl?
