Sweet Allis Chalmers
William Caswell

Sweet Allis Chalmers I′ve rode you so long,
I feel like I'm glued to your wheel.
Your rusty exhaust pipe, she sings me a song
That sounds just as bad as I feel.
But day after day, Lord, ain′t nothin' to do
But point this old tractor ahead.
I wish I was drinkin' a bottle or two
And lovin′ some sweet thing instead.

Got a sweet runnin′ tractor, a four-bottom plow,
But they can't take the place of my St Joseph gal.


I had me a pretty woman from up by St. Joe
We lived over yonder a ways.
She swore that she′d love me with body and soul
'Til she just up and left me one day.
A man could go crazy, stone deaf and blind
Fightin′ a four-bottom plow.
Watchin' the black dirt roll over behind
With the sun beatin′ down on his brow

Got a sweet runnin' tractor, a four-bottom plow,
But they can't take the place of my St Joseph gal.

Sweet Allis Chalmers I′ve rode you so long,
I feel like I′m glued to your wheel.
Your rusty exhaust pipe, she sings me a song
That sounds just as bad as I feel.
