thomas maguire - the ballad of henry ford lyrics

[verse 1]
eighteen forty+seven, when skies were dark and grey
two men left ballinascarthy bound for the usa
their names were john and william ford, a father and his son
they went to live near michigan in a place called dearborn

[verse 2]
william met a girl and married, they had a baby boy
his parents called him henry, he was their pride and joy
at sixteen years he went to work, got an engineer’s degree
the man who put the world on wheels when he built the model t

[chorus 1]
now wе celebrate onе hundred years of henry and his car
there’s a ford in every country, no matter where you are
mustang and the maverick, fairlane and galaxy
all owe their name to henry ford who built the model t

[verse 3]
the model t rolled off the line, across the states and back
any color you could ask as long as it was black
henry ford did not forget his roots or from where his daddy came
he built a giant plant in cork in honor of his name

[verse 4]
now if you’re in cork city and you have some time to spare
drive out to ballinascarthy, see the statue there
a replica in stainless steel for everyone to see
a monument to henry ford who built the model t
[chorus 2]
now we celebrate one hundred years of henry and his car
there’s a ford in every country, no matter where you are
prefect and the anglia, cortina and capri
all owe their name to henry ford who built the model t

[chorus 3]
now we celebrate one hundred years of henry and his car
there’s a ford in every country, no matter where you are
focus and mondeo with mobile and cd
all owe their name to henry ford who built the model t
they all owe their name to henry ford who build the model t
