Wagon Load of Love
Jim Reeves · Red Eyed And Rowdy [2011]
I've got a wagon load
A wagon load of love
All I need's a pretty little girl
To give my heart a shove.
I've got a basket full
A basket full of kisses
Won't you come and ride upon
My wagon load of love.
We'll ride, ride, ride
Down lover's lane together
Side by side
In every kind of weather.
This wedding band to fit your hand
Like a brand new glove
So won't you come and ride upon
My wagon load of love.
--- Instrumental ---
I've got a wagon load
Of things to keep us happy
There'll be girls to call you mom
And boys to call me pappy.
All I need's a pretty little girl
To give my heart a shove
So won't you come and ride upon
My wagon load of love.
We'll ride, ride, ride
Down lover's lane together
Side by side
In every kind of weather.
I've got a wagon load
Of things to grand your wishes
All I need's a pretty little girl
To help me wear the briches.
This wedding band to fit your hand
Like a brand new glove
Won't you come and ride upon
My wagon load of love...
