Ford Madox Ford Lyrics - Ass Ponys

Sarah stood upon the bridge 

On the railing, near the edge 

The only thing that brought her in 

Was a book that she had read 

The novel's name was long since lost 

Never mind the cost 

The only thing she could recall 

Was that the author's name was ford 

It was written in nineteen ten 

You could never have met a finer man 

Worked a farm for fifteen years 

Just to see if he could 

He lost his memory in the war 

He forgot what he was fighting for 

The only thing he knew for sure 

His name was ford madox ford 

Ford madox ford 

The fattest poet who ever lived 

His name was ford madox ford 

Joseph conrad and henry james 

Were two of the many famous names 

That fat boy ford could claim 

To be his bosom friends 

Then one day conrad said to him 

I may be climbing out upon a limb 

But it would help you out my friend 

If you would lose a little weight
