Unkel Eb is now a speedin'
He's bought himself a car,
His horn is loudly tootin'
As he rides neer and far.

He don't do eny milkin',
Aunt Mi sits by his side—
No mendin' and no cookin'
Sence she has learnt ter ride.

They eat along the rodeside
Hot dogs and ginger pop
Fer when they get a goin'
They hesertate ter stop.

His barn is now a gerage,
His kids sell ile and gas,
His cabin is a hotel
Wher weery peeple pass.
