Kingston Trio - Getaway John lyrics

Met a man just the other day ---

said his name was Jim. Boy, won't you take a look!

Got a car for you --- it's a real steal

Cleaned it right down --- new brakes, clutch and here's the hook

Yes, it's a 4.W.D. (low ratio)

Cash to Jim. I took it home

through the deep mud. Plugged happy as a boy in sand

Fitted wide tyres, spotlight, a winch as well

and some brush bars up front to complete the plan

Now it's really a 4.W.D. (low ratio)

Take you down to the edge of town

Where the road stops, we start to hold the ground

Well, I'm blessed! Got traction in a special way

Hold the roll bar, slide back, feel me pull it round

Let me show you my 4.W.D. (low ratio)
