The Ford Barn

A friend found this record while clearing out an estate. The song is "The little Ford rambled right along" by Arthur Fields. It is actually model T era being recorded in 1915. Pretty cool

Really cool find. Production of the T went on so long old Lizzie became part of our culture. Here's a link to it being played https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=3gs_wqA8W_U

I have it also. Came with a cache of Victrola records. Really a neat tune.

On Blue Amberol cylinder record too. Got a copy kicking around that and the disc. I have "to get out and get under" to put my hands on it.

OUCH!!!! Painful to listen to! Makes the ears bleed! However, It's reassuring to know that there are some folks who appreciate this kind of Americana and it's not being lost. BTW I have a few 78s RCA red label, Classic, if anyone would like them at a really good price.

I've got about 100 pre-RCA Victor records for my Talking Machine. But I don't have this one. Still looking...

Somewhere in my collection is " Henry made a lady out of lizzy''.

Mark W. · 01-29-2015, 11:48 AM

I have both - "The Little Ford..." came from e-bay for about $20.00 including the shipping - it was badly advertised, and "Henry made a Lady..." came from a junk-type flea market for $0.50 and about 45 minutes of digging. The seller has no idea what I got there. I also have a set of late 30's training records with film-strips they go with but they are mostly sales with very little in the way of mechanical instruction.

Gives me something to play on my great-grandfathers Victrola

I have the roll "He'd Have To Get Out And Get Under" (to fix his automobile) on my
player piano...real catchy tune!

jerry of whidbey · 01-29-2015, 02:59 PM

I have a copy of the origenal music for that song

29spcoupe · 01-29-2015, 03:14 PM

Does anyone know if the 'Little Ford' was ever available for an Edison Cylinder Phonograph? It would be nice to play it on mine. John

It would appear so.

I have restored two interesting Ford songs...."Get Her in a Rumble" and "Poor Lizzie".
Both sung by Billy Jones and Ernest Hare around 1928.

The Rumble song talks about your better chances for romance with your girl in a rumble seat. Poor Lizzie refers to the sad old Model T now that the Model A is in production.

The records were electric recordings made by Edison using the "hill and dale" method. After my restoration, they sound real good.
