Truckin' a heavy load
Driving a heavy load in a truck.
Well I found me a little red wagon

Pull it up and down the hill
Pulling the wagon up and down hills.
If my mama don't carry the load
If my mother doesn't bear the burden, the wagon will.
That little red wagon will

I'm a-carryin' my bindle
Carrying my bindle, a small bundle of belongings.
On the end of my stick
Attached to the end of my stick for easy transport.
I gotta be nimble
Need to be quick and nimble in my journey.
I gotta stay quick

I found me a little red wagon
Found another little red wagon.
Pull it up and down the hill
Continuing to pull it up and down hills.
If my mama don't carry my load

My little red wagon will

Pull it!
An enthusiastic exclamation to keep pulling.
Now you take that little toy puzzle
Using a metaphor of a toy puzzle to describe a relationship.
One piece at a time
Building the relationship one piece at a time.
Go through all of that trouble

Just to make you mine
The goal is to make the person mine.
I found me a little red wagon

Pull it up and down the hill

If my mama don't carry the load
If my mother doesn't handle the burden, the wagon will.
My little red wagon will
Reaffirming the dependability of the little red wagon.
I found me little red wagon
Rediscovered the little red wagon.
Pull it up and down the hill
Continuing to pull it up and down hills.
Well I found me little red wagon
Expressing excitement about the rediscovered wagon.
