Old Electric Washing Machine Circa 1943
                                                                        ~John Hartford

Well I sure do miss that good old electric washing machine
The one that we ain't got around here no more
And I sure do miss that big round tub and them stompin', swingin' sounds
And I miss them groovy puddles on the floor
The new one just sits there in all its glory on Monday morning
Way over in the corner of the basement going (hummmmmmm)
But the old one went....( weird mouth sounds)

Well I cry when I when I see that
Brand new automatic washing machine
'Cause I'm sentimental for the old machine still yet
'Cause the old one really looks like a real live washing machine
But the new one just looks more like a television set

The new one just sits there a going...(hummmmmm)
But the old one went ......(weird mouth sounds)
