(This song is dedicated to Louis and Emma Adams of Spencer, NE and to my lovely wife Ellen 8-11-04)

Key of D Played to the same tune as the Walbash Cannon Ball

(6 Bar Intro)

Well, grandpa took his bride to Rushmore in 1923;
down those dusty roads they drove...in Grandpa's Model T.
A loving bride for ever - that's what she pledged to be
as they traveled down those dusty roads in Grandpa's Model T.

That first night out Grandpa parked that T beside an old mill stream.
Then he sang songs of love to the girl of his dreams.

She gave all her love to him that night and filled his heart with glee
as they traveled down those dusty roads in Grandpa's Model T.

(8 bar instrumental break)

When they returned they settled down to raise a family;
just Grandpa and his brand new bride and of course
that old model T.

Then one day out in the orchard Grandpa parked his Model T -
It's resting place forever that's what it seemed to be.

Yes way out in the orchard, underneath an apple tree...
alone but not forgotten sat Grandpa's Model T.

But his grandson has that T to this day and he does
relish it with glee..
Waiting to take his bride to Rushmore like Grandpa did
in 1923.

(6 bar Break)

Just to take the same route that grandpa took
and relive history
as they travel down those dusty roads
in Grandpa's Model T.
Yes way out in the orchard underneath an apple tree;
alone but not forgotten sat Grandpa's model T.
