Automobile Blues (Lightning Hopkins) I saw you riding 'round in your brand new automobile Yes I saw you ridin' around, babe, in your brand new automobile Yes you was sitting there happy with your handsome driver at the wheel In your brand new automobile Now your car so pretty baby, will you let me drive sometime Yes your car so pretty baby, please let me drive sometime She says her chauffeur was a good chauffeur, lord but he ain't like mine In your brand new automobile Baby come on and get me, and let's go and have some fun In your brand new automobile, I just want to see that new car run Yes, everything will be alright, baby just about the break of dawn In your brand new automobile You got your new car, darlin', and I know just how you feel Yes I know you sitting there happy with your handsome driver at the wheel Yes but you got too many drivers holding on to your darn wheel In your brand new automobile Source: "A Treasury Of American Folklore: Stories, Ballads And Traditions Of The People" edited by B.A. Botkin (New York: Crown Publishers, 1944).
