about

Mary Beth Carty | Trip to Windsor (Dan R. MacDonald)

Back in 2010 I wrote a tongue-twister song and began performing it with my then duo Bette & Wallet. The lyrics are an imaginary scene of… well the song speaks for itself. The Trip to Windsor reel, composed by Dan R. MacDonald of Mabou, seemed like a great fit for the outro. HASHBROWNS!

lyrics

Tony had a pick-up
Not too young
Drove it around
Workin’ hard, havin’ fun

But rust grew in,
Rust grew on,
Rust grew under
Left it sittin’ on the lawn

Tow a Toyota
Tow it into town
Turn it into tiny tidbits
Turn it into hash browns

One day,
We said “That’s it!”
This truck’s gotta go
Or we’re burning it

Called up Jimmy,
Called up Cash
Strongest men
Arrived in a flash

Put it in neutral,
Pushed it into town
Harder going up
Than it was going down

Wheel flew off
On Cameron’s Hill
Decided to take
That tow-truck bill

Now we drink to the wheels
Drink to the clutch
Drink to the bumpers
And the steering wheel touch

Drink to the suspension
Which was long-gone
Wrote this little
Tow truck song
