the other's more like milk
So you can tell them apart
All the world'll fly in a flurry
when I take you out in the surrey
When I take you out in the surrey
Em
A

with a friend on top

A
B
C#
Ain't said I was going
Ain't asked you
Ab
Where'd you get such a rig at?

Ab
I bet he's went and a
Gm
rig over to Claremore,
Eb
thinking I'd go with him.

That's all you know about it.
Spent all his money hiring a rig.

Now he ain't got nobody to ride in it.

Have to. Did not hire him.

Made the whole thing up out of my head.
Am
A
D
What? Made it up? Dashboard and all.
Bb
Oh, get off of the place, you!
D
Aunt Ella, make him get himself out of here,
telling me lies.
Oh, making up a few purties
ain't again no lord I know of.
A
Don't you wish there was such a rig,
though?
D
Then you could go to the play party
and do a hoedown till morning,
if you was a -minded.
And then when you was all wore out,
Cm
Db
I'd lift you onto the surrey
and jump up alongside of you.
A
And we'd just pint the horses home.
Eb

I can just picture the whole thing.

I can see the stars getting blurry

And just as I'm thinking all the earth is still,

a lark'll wake up in the meadow.

Hush, you bird,
my baby's a -sleepin'.
D

Maybe got a dream worth a -keepin'.
Whoa, you team,

Don't you hurry with the surrey
with the fringe on the top you
