Music and Lyrics by Dan Frechette. Violin Arrangement by Laurel Thomsen.

lyrics

What could I do to get those horse and buggy days back?
What I’d do?
What I’d do?
To get the water from the well and the fat from the land not the fast track
What I’d do?
What I’d do?
Sure I’d have to drink some liquor if I had a cut to stitch
And I wouldn’t be rich
Or be in high demand!
But I’d sure love to take my horse and buggy home, mac!
'Deed I would!
'Deed I would!

And I wish I were there at "The Battle Of Deputies Run."
'Deed I do!
'Deed I do!
I’d be wearing my best and standing out there in the sun!
'Deed I would!
'Deed I would!
I’d have the butt end of my pistol pointing to the mess!
And I’d pull that pistol
My law wouldn’t let me rest!
I wish I were there at "The Battle Of Deputies Run."
'Deed I do!
'Deed I do!

I could wait for my lassie while she’s bound on the homeward train!
'Deed I would!
'Deed I would!
We could marry on a word and never have trouble again!
'Deed I would!
'Deed I would!
I could be a high rolling tycoon in the moonshine trade
Roll into town in my buggy coach and make my daily promenade!
What could I do to get the horse and buggy days back?
What I’d do?
What I’d do?
