Lyrics Buggy Ride - Burl Ives

Buggy Ride

The other day I took a ride but not in a machine
It was a buggy ride with my sweetie by my side
I’m making love going fifty miles an hour don’t compare with a one horse power
Many cars I rode but give me a buggy ride
Thanks for the buggy ride
Thanks for the buggy ride
I had a wonderful time
No smell of gasoline
Just an old fashioned theme
It was a wonderful treat
To hear the patter of horses' feet
My bones were nearly broke
I took it as a joke
It was all new to me
I didn’t, I’ve been used to riding in a big limousine
But buggy riding and loving sure beats any machine
Although I lost my pride
Thanks for the buggy ride
I had a wonderful time
Now since I took that buggy ride that’s all I wanna do
No more machines for me there’s a chance of hitting a tree
Now let me give you some sensible advice
A buggy ride is awfully nice
'Though it’s not the style
The ride sure is worth while, so
Thanks for the buggy ride
Thanks for the buggy ride
I had a wonderful time
No smell of gasoline
Just an old fashioned theme
It was a wonderful treat
To hear the patter of horses' feet
My bones were nearly broke
I took it as a joke
It was all new to me
I didn’t know a horse could see so good in the dark
He must have found a hundred different places to park
Although I lost my pride
Thanks for the buggy ride
I had a wonderful time
