The Hay Ride 1907 Kern

Some dearly dote on motor cars
to whirl them along,
I'm not of that opinion
and my reasons are strong,
when I want someone's company
for sometime you see,
a hay ride in a rustic cart
is what appeals to me.

Take a hand full of hay to start with
that is just for appearance sake,
and an old fashioned country cart
with wheels that seem just about to break,
then a nice little girl like you are
who will sit closely by my side,
and a horse to go most exceptionally slow,
that's the way I prefer to ride.

Take a hand full of hay to start with
that is just for appearance sake,
and an old fashioned country cart
with wheels that seem just about to break,
then a nice little girl like you are
who will sit closely by my side,
and a horse to go most exceptionally slow,
that's the way I prefer to ride.

Courting conducted hurredly
is only half done,
Slower is the motto
always if you'd not miss the fun,
Hay rides have been invented
only just for one thing,
to help to furnish reasons, dear,
why wedding bells should ring.

Take a hand full of hay to start with
that is just for appearance sake,
and an old fashioned country cart
with wheels that seem just about to break,
then a nice little girl like you are
who will sit closely by my side,
and a horse to go most exceptionally slow,
that's the way I prefer to ride.

that's the way I prefer to ride.
