Verse 1: Billy O'Neal had an automobile,
Had a girl most dear to him.
He said, "Some day we will both ride away
And we'll come back dear, two as one;
I'll be true for life if you'll be my wife,
Answer me please, sweetheart, do,
And I'll lead the way, if you'll name the day;"
Then he heard her slowly say:

Chorus: You will win me, Bill, heart and soul,
If you buy a COLE,
Down through the woods and down thro' the dale.
Ride smoothly and swiftly as on a bird's tail;
You ask me to be true,
I'll tell you what to do,
Just sell that old wheel, buy an automobile,
Get wise and buy a Cole.

Verse 2: This pretty maid who was never afraid,
Said "Billy, now listen to me;
If we go in your car we'll not get very far,
Now don't try to hand it to me;
This game we play must be played right away,
If we stop we are sure to get caught."
Then Billy quite blue, said "Yes I will do,
Just what you told me to.

Chorus: You will win me, Bill, heart and soul,
If you buy a COLE,
Down through the woods and down thro' the dale.
Ride smoothly and swiftly as on a bird's tail;
You ask me to be true,
I'll tell you what to do,
Just sell that old wheel, buy an automobile,
Get wise and buy a Cole.
