| The Chev got stuck and the Ford got stuck
|
| But the Chev unstuck when the Dodge showed up But the Dodge got stuck in the tractor rut,
|
| Which eventually pulled out the Ford
|
| With some difficulty
|
| Well more rain than we’d seen for a thousand years
|
| Caused financial joys and biblical fears
|
| It caused some smiles it caused some tears
|
| But more to the point of our story
|
| For The first time in the collective memory,
|
| That old brown prairie that had been so dry for so long was very muddy
|
| Boggy and sticky
|
| We’d pull one truck out and get another stuck in And motors would roar and tires would spin
|
| We’d sink right down, down to the diff, and we’d all take turns and do it again
|
| Till no one could move, we’d call one more friend,
|
| Come on out here, we need you? |
| bring your truck
|
| The Chev got stuck and the Ford got stuck
|
| But the Chev unstuck when the Dodge showed up But the Dodge got stuck in the tractor rut
|
| Which eventually pulled out the Ford
|
| And the Dodge
|
| They got me stuck in the mud, so they couldn’t rehearse
|
| And Chavase too has missed his work
|
| Richie, he now fears the worst, he stood up his ex wife she called him a jerk
|
| Course Holman didn’t have nothing better do to, ?cept ranch.
|
| The Chev got stuck and the Ford got stuck
|
| But the Chev unstuck when the Dodge showed up But the Dodge got stuck in the tractor rut
|
| Which eventually pulled out the Ford
|
| Well it was truck after truck, we all got stuck
|
| ?cept the big old four by hutterite truck
|
| We all thought? |
| lord are we in luck?!
|
| But he wouldn’t come anywhere near us,
|
| Mighty neighborly, mighty neighborly.
|
| So we used a lot of our backs, a little of our brains
|
| We jacked up the jacks, and snugged up the chains,
|
| We all did our very best to refrain from shovelin'.
|
| We put what timber we had, underneath the wheels
|
| And we was all out of sand, but managed to steal
|
| Two sacks of the best modern canola seed you ever did see,
|
| That? |
| oughta give us some traction
|
| The Chev got stuck and the Ford got stuck
|
| But the Chev unstuck when the Dodge showed up But the Dodge got stuck in the tractor rut
|
| Which eventually pulled out the Ford
|
| We spilled genetically modified canola seed
|
| That was genetically modified for controlling the weeds
|
| And for big old yields and margarine oil, raised hell all over that native
|
| prairie soil
|
| Agriculture Canada is definitely gonna be looking for us |
