Music Sheet, "The Little Ford Rambled Right Along," 1914

01

Artifact Overview

This song's exaggerated lyrics make the Model T sound indestructible. The Ford can run over glass and run over nails. If the tire blows out "just wrap it up with wire." You can smash it, crash it, then patch it up with a "piece of string, chewing gum, or any old thing." The little Ford will ramble right along.
