A few years ago Jeff Wesley sang a song with this name at Whitby FW.

It was written by someone he knew and hadn't been recorded when I last searched.

It's a first person narrative of a man's life, from his youth as a farm-hand in the days of horses to the arrival of tractors and demise of horses, and then a triumphant return for the farm horse as oil runs out.

The title comes from a line in the chorus, the way the old man is ridiculed for his age and old-fashioned experience.

Does anyone know the lyrics, or who wrote it, or whether it's been recorded anywhere?
