Autoharp: Three Wheels On My Wagon (Including lyrics and chords)
"Three Wheels on My Wagon" is a song with lyrics by Bob Hilliard and music by Burt Bacharach. It was written in 1961, when it was released as a single by Dick Van Dyke on the Jamie Records label. This was Bacharach's first credited production. It was also recorded by The New Christy Minstrels for their EP bearing the same name in the following year, with Barry McGuire as the lead singer; it was also released as a single, in Ireland and the UK, in 1965 and 1966 respectively.
This was the first song I performed at the monthly Zoom meeting of the UK Autoharpers and Friends last night on the theme of Pioneers; Emigrants or Refugees.
In the last verse I made an error in that I sang: "One wheel on my wagon..." when I should have sung: "No wheels on my wagon..." as is shown in the on-screen lyrics.
