Music Sheet, "Henry's Made a Lady out of Lizzie," 1928
Add to SetSummary
Automobiles have always inspired popular songs. Composer Walter O'Keefe wrote "Henry's Made a Lady out of Lizzie" to commemorate Ford's introduction of the stylish Model A, which replaced the venerable Model T -- the "Tin Lizzie" -- in 1928. In keeping with the ukulele fad of the 1920s, the sheet music's chord fingerings are for that Hawaiian instrument.
