I's thumbin' through the want ads

in the Shelby County Tribune

when this classified advertisement caught my eye

It said Take imme-di-ate delivery

on this '57 Chevrolet half-ton pickup truck

Will sell or swap for a hide-a-bed and

thirty-five bucks Call One-four-oh ring two and ask for Bob

Well I called Bob up on the telephone

he says Hello this is Bob speakin'

I says This here the Bob got the pickup truck for sale

He says Yeah I says Where are ya

He says Fourteen east on County 12

turn right on the one-lane gravel

road you can park in the yard beware of the dog

wipe your feet off knock three times and bring your billfold

Well I tooled on east on County 12 turned

right on the one-lane gravel road

and I parked in the yard and a German shepherd

come out and grabbed onto my leg

Then I knocked three times and

wiped my feet the dog let go and

the screen door opened and Bob come out and says

Whaddya want I says

Come to see your truck

He says Follow me Come on Frank (Dog's name is Frank )

Well we all went past the chicken house

through the hog pen down to the tractor shed

and then wound up in back of the barn in a field of cowpies

And settin' right there in a

pool of grease was a half-ton Chevy pickup truck with a

1960 license plate a bumper sticker

says Vote for Dick and Brillo box full of rusty parts and

Bob says Whaddya think

Well I kicked the tires and I got in the seat and

set on a petrified apple core and

found a bunch of field mice livin' in the glove compartment

He says Her shaft is bent and her rear

end leaks you can fix her quick with an oily rag

Use a nail as a starter lost the key

Don't pay no mind to that whirrin' sound

She use a little oil but outside a' that she's cherry

I says What'll take He says What've you got I says

Twenty-eight dollars and fifteen cents He says

You got a deal Sign

here I'll go get the title and a can full of gas

I put the nail in the slot and fired 'er up

she coughed and belched up a bunch a'

smoke and I backed her right

through the hog pen into the yard

Well Frank jumped in and bit my leg and

I beat him off with a crowbar

He jumped on out and the door

fell off and the left front tire went flat

I jacked it up and patched the tube and

Frank tore a piece of my shirt off

Then Bob come out and called him off and says

You better'd get on out of here

I went left on the one-lane gravel

road went fourteen west on County 12 Took

two full quarts of forty-weight oil

just to get her to the Conoco station

And I pulled up to the Regular pump

and then Harold Sykes and his kid come out

He says I've seen better stuff at junkyards and

where'd you ever get that truck

I says That's a long story Harold

I's thumbin' through the want ads in the

Shelby County Tribune
