Somewhere around here I have the sheet music for this, have to dig into the piano bench, if I find it I'll post it.

He also has "Hallelujah, I'm a bum" a fun song we have on the victerola at the Lott Home museum.

I have the piano roll for "The Little Ford Rambled Right Along." Found it years ago when I was in high school in the late sixties. Fun song!

I have a console version of that Victrola, the bottom is full of records from the teen's and twenties. It belonged to my step-dad's grandmother.
It is complete with a stack of records, some from the WW1 era like "Keep Your Head Down Fritzie Boy", (one of my favorites).
One of these days, I'll have to go through the records and see if this one is in there.

That piece of sheet music is common. I have a piano roll called Tin Lizzie. How many of you have seen that one?

Bill Murray had the original hit recording of this song in 1915. You can hear it here:

My great grandparents had the original 78 by Billy Murray; I used to listen to it when I was a kid.

There are a number pieces of automobile sheet music available for viewing, downloading and printing in Lester Levy sheet music collection:

When browsing, look in boxes 57 through 63 - "Transportation" to see what is available related to automobiles. You'll see that there were a number of songs composed about Fords.

You can download and print a PDF of "The Little Ford Rambled Right Along" - it's in box 60, item 107.

Billy Murray also recorded it for Edison and it was released as a Blue Amberol cylinder.Forgot the number off hand......

If you fill in the search form with AUTOMOBILE and FORD it will take you to a listing of the T tunes.
Also, the California Antique Phonograph Society sells a CE of Antique automobile music which includes a numberof Model T songs.

At $12.00 it is a pretty inexpensive but fun item to have.

At Old Bold Pilots' breakfast the other morning, a new guy's celfone interrupted with some Marine tune. How much trouble would it be to have your phone ring with a T tune, or brass horn sound?
