Allis, Allis Chalmers, Allis Chalmers was her name
Allis, Allis Chalmers, Allis Chalmers was her name

When I was a young boy living on the farm
I remember those hot summer days
We'd hitch the mower up to the tractor
And start cuttin' down that hay

Allis, Allis Chalmers, Allis Chalmers was her name
Allis, Allis Chalmers, Allis Chalmers was her name

We'd leave the hay out to dry for a day or two
Hopin' that it wouldn't rain
Then we'd hitch up the rake, and the bailer
and we'd all get to work again

with Allis, Allis Chalmers, Allis Chalmers was her name
Allis, Allis Chalmers, Allis Chalmers was her name

Then we'd hitch up the big old wagon
With the sun so hot in the sky
Everybody on the farm pitched in
We'd stack those bales of hay so high

with Allis, Allis Chalmers, Allis Chalmers was her name
Allis, Allis Chalmers, Allis Chalmers was her name

Allis was painted orange
She was made back in �54
You could get her engine started with a rusty crank
We parked her by the big barn door

Allis, Allis Chalmers, Allis Chalmers was her name
Allis, Allis Chalmers, Allis Chalmers was her name
Allis, Allis Chalmers, Allis Chalmers was her name
Allis, Allis Chalmers, Allis Chalmers was her name
