Lyrics

Do ya remember the little grey Ferguson tractor, Johnny?
They were a great little yoke, you'll start and I'll join in
Oh, I am a little Ferguson built so many years ago
I was bought up in Dublin at the RDS spring show
I'm a lovely little tractor and I look so very cute
Not like the tractor of today, that great big ugly brute
Well, they brought me home to Fennagh in the county of Carlow
And the first man to drive me was Mickey's uncle Joe
He put on his top coat and he jumped upon me sate
Pulled back on the throttle and he flew out through the gate
Oh, I am a little Ferguson built so many years ago
I was bought up in Dublin at the RDS spring show
I'm a lovely little tractor and I look so very cute
Not like the tractor of today, that great big ugly brute
All the auld lads started laughing and jeering now you see
They said that auld black jackass was far better now than me
But the jackass he is long since dead his bones has turned to dust
Here am I freshly painted, would nare a speck of rust
Oh, I am a little Ferguson built so many years ago
I was bought up in Dublin at the RDS spring show
I'm a lovely little tractor and I look so very cute
Not like the tractor of today, that great big ugly brute
Oh, where have all the years gone by, I'm parked here in the shed
Poor auld uncle Joe is inside crippled in the bed
But every September until the man is dead
He'll grab his little walking aid and he'll head up for the shed
Oh, I am a little Ferguson built so many years ago
I was bought up in Dublin at the RDS spring show
I'm a lovely little tractor and I look so very cute
Not like the tractor of today, that great big ugly brute
He'll check me oil and water he'll shine and polish me
Then he'll bring me down to Fennagh for everyone to see
They'll put him sitting on me sate, he looks so very proud
As he drives me through the steam rally to the cheering of the crowd
Oh, I am a little Ferguson built so many years ago
I was bought up in Dublin at the RDS spring show
I'm a lovely little tractor and I look so very cute
Not like the tractor of today, that great big ugly brute
Not like the tractor of today, that great big ugly brute
