The Chev got stuck and the Ford got stuck 

But the Chev unstuck when the Dodge showed up 

But the Dodge got stuck in the tractor rut, 

Which eventually pulled out the Ford 

With some difficulty 


Well more rain than we'd seen for a thousand years 

Caused financial joys and biblical fears 

It caused some smiles it caused some tears 

But more to the point of our story 

For The first time in the collective memory, 

That old brown prairie that had been so dry for so long was very muddy 

Boggy and sticky 

We'd pull one truck out and get another stuck in 

And motors would roar and tires would spin 

We'd sink right down, down to the diff, and we'd all take turns and do it again 

Till no one could move, we'd call one more friend, 

Come on out here, we need you…bring your truck 


The Chev got stuck and the Ford got stuck 

But the Chev unstuck when the Dodge showed up 

But the Dodge got stuck in the tractor rut 

Which eventually pulled out the Ford 

And the Dodge 


They got me stuck in the mud, so they couldn't rehearse 

And Chavase too has missed his work 

Richie, he now fears the worst, he stood up his ex wife she called him a jerk 

Course Holman didn't have nothing better do to, ‘cept ranch. 


The Chev got stuck and the Ford got stuck 

But the Chev unstuck when the Dodge showed up 

But the Dodge got stuck in the tractor rut 

Which eventually pulled out the Ford 


Well it was truck after truck, we all got stuck 

‘cept the big old four by hutterite truck 

We all thought “lord are we in luck!” 

But he wouldn't come anywhere near us, 

Mighty neighborly, mighty neighborly. 


So we used a lot of our backs, a little of our brains 

We jacked up the jacks, and snugged up the chains, 

We all did our very best to refrain from shovelin'. 

We put what timber we had, underneath the wheels 

And we was all out of sand, but managed to steal 

Two sacks of the best modern canola seed you ever did see, 

That ‘oughta give us some traction 


The Chev got stuck and the Ford got stuck 

But the Chev unstuck when the Dodge showed up 

But the Dodge got stuck in the tractor rut 

Which eventually pulled out the Ford 


We spilled genetically modified canola seed 

That was genetically modified for controlling the weeds 

And for big old yields and margarine oil, raised hell all over that native prairie soil 

Agriculture Canada is definitely gonna be looking for us
