Another song-effort! "Surrey-ride!"

 Surrey-ride!

(a western-afternoon Love!-song!)

 

Rumble! Rattle! Metal-wheels! Harness leather-strain!

Forlorn-distant whistle-call yonder steam-engine train

 

Noble Thunder!-horse ushers handsome-beau to-hand

“Aboard! Me-Lady! Beautiful!” Mr. Wilson panned

 

Delicate! She took a-seat upon the ole rough-buggy board

To-Life! Thunder!-Unicorn! Plodded-lightly down the-road

 

Summit-high under sun-comfort warm the suitor touched her-warm

A Passion!-kiss! against the threatening mountain coming blizzard-storm

 

Silver nuptial-bells crystal-tolled Love!-call from blaze tower-steeple

Come-one! Come-all! The-clarion invited adoring collective-people

 

Rumble! Rattle! Metal-wheels! Harness leather-strain!

Forlorn-distant whistle-call yonder steam-engine train

 

Much Business-travel to-run the empire cattle-ranch

A Surrey-ride afore each-trip to Castle-Verde Branch

 

Horde silver-coin! Gold-dollar! Quick-tally swift-years gone

Lament! Oh! Fellow-man! “No! Not my-turn!” A vacant-song!

 

Sheriff brought a Denver-telegram: Mr. Wilson shot-dead in bar-room. Stop!

His wooden-box delivered in the rattle-buggy to yonder snow-summit top

 

2-years slip-past when demure-Yvette arrives with her taw-head little-boy

Surprise! Madame! Me-Jimmy is the-result of your-fine Mr. Wilson’s Joy!

 

Rumble! Rattle! Metal-wheels! Harness leather-strain!

Forlorn-distant whistle-call yonder steam-engine train

 

Kind cattle-Baroness accepted the forsaken-pair out of Christian-Love

Jimmy Wilson grew to a fine young-man his father could be Proud!-of

 

Each wedding-anniversary the trio-trekked to high-summit in the-surrey

A creaking-bounce cadence slow-beat Jimmy-drove them absent any-hurry

 

Rumble! Rattle! Metal-wheels! Harness leather-strain!

Forlorn-distant whistle-call yonder steam-engine train

 

Amen!
