The Great Big Wheel
Round and round went the bloody great wheel
In and out went the rod of steel
I'll lay you money on a sure-fire bet
That the great big wheel is a-turning yet.
So he mounted up a great big wheel
There upon a rod of steel
Two brass chambers a-filled with cream
And the whole damned thing was run by steam.
Well he rolled it through the bedroom door
And the wheel started up with a great big roar
It rolled to his wife and rolled on top
And it pumped and steamed until she hollered stop.
But the bloody great wheel just rolled on through
'Till the cowboy's wife was split in two.
Then as if possessed by a monstrous whim
It turned around and mounted him.
Then it rolled to the gate and it steamed real fast
Mounting folks just a-strolling past
Covered them all with grease and cream
'Till it disappeared in a cloud of steam.
So if some day you should see a wheel
With two brass balls and a rod of steal
Run for the prairie or over the hill
Unless you're looking for a long-time thrill.
