Lyrics
1. Ezra Green and his Ford machine
Were the talk of Hayville Station
You could hear the name of Ezra Green
In every conversation
All because he used to buzz away
Courtin’ on the sly the neighbors used to say
Had folks guessin’ till one day
Down at the huskin’ bee
Young Ezra brought his gal
Then he heard somebody yell
CHORUS
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 bet 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?
2. 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 left her out of sight
Had her by the arm from mornin’ until night
Showed he knew his game all right
Wise little country jay
When he got home next day
Then he heard his daddy say
