‘Longside River Rouge
Pumpin’ out trucks, strictly Country
As the red, white and blue
And my Uncle was a trucker
Workin’ here and there and far
One day cruised to a dealer
Cos he also needed car
But while slammin' doors around back
He stopped, looked up to see
An instant love attack --
A Big Henry COE
Now Unkie and his new rig
Became like a man and wife
Hauling loads both small and real big
Til the end of his long life.
So when his time was over
COE went out to seed
In a field of four-leaf clover
And Northern prairie weed
And it waited on them great plains
For its new time in the sun
Through years of snow and spring rains
For a man to make it run
Now Henry COE ‘s mine
And got some plans in store
Gonna drop in big round engine
From planes of Second War
And I’ll do my own flying
Just closer to the ground
All perty girls be sighing
When they hear its monster sound
In that big COE you ride
Far above door slammer fray
And you can see all country wide
With nothin in your way
And when my time is over
COE will still run strong
No more fields of clover
But a big safe dark dry barn
So now this tale is over
One secret I confess
What does COE stand for
Leave that for you to guess
(REFRAIN)
My baby’s calling me
Climb in my COE
Highball cross county line
Make her place, in record time
I want her riding ‘gun
She is the only one
Dig more than my sweet ride
If she’s good, might let her drive...
