Horsey! Horsey! 1937.

Seq - Dr.J.Pitt-Payne. Kar - Bunty Pritchard Jones. July 2000.

Farmer Gray's got a one~horse shay,
He takes to town on market day.

Coming home when the lights are low,
He sings this song as away they go.

Horsey! Horsey! Don't you stop,
Just let your feet go clippety~clop,

Your tail goes swish and the wheels go round,
Giddy up, we're homeward bound.

Horsey! Horsey! on your way,
We've done the journey many a day,

Your tail goes swish and the wheels go round,
Giddy up we're homeward bound.

We ain't in a hustle,
We ain't in a bustle
Don't go tearing up the road.

We ain't in a hurry,
We ain't in a flurry,
And we ain't got a heavy load.

So! Horsey! Horsey! Don't you stop,
Just let your feet go clippety~clop,

Your tail goes swish and the wheels go round,
Giddy up we're homeward bound.

Horsey! Horsey! Don't you stop,
Just let your feet go clippety~clop,

Your tail goes swish and the wheels go round,
Giddy up, we're homeward bound.

Horsey! Horsey! on your way,
We've done the journey many a day,

Your tail goes swish and the wheels go round,
Giddy up we're homeward bound.

We ain't in a hustle,
We ain't in a bustle,
Don't go tearing up the road.

We ain't in a hurry,
We ain't in a flurry,
And we ain't got a heavy load.

So! Horsey! Horsey! Don't you stop,
Just let your feet go clippety~clop,

Your tail goes swish and the wheels go round,
Giddy up we're homeward bound.

Going home, when they get half way,
They call a halt at "The Load of Hay",

He has just one, then he has more,
And you'll hear him sing after three or four.

Horsey! Horsey! Don't you stop,
Just let your feet go clippety~clop,

Your tail goes swish and the wheels go round,
Giddy up, we're homeward bound.

Horsey! Horsey! on your way,
We've done the journey many a day.

Your tail goes swish and the wheels go round,
Giddy up we're homeward bound.

We ain't in a hustle,
We ain't in a bustle,
Don't go tearing up the road.

We ain't in a hurry,
We ain't in a flurry,
And we ain't got a heavy load.

So! Horsey! Horsey! Don't you stop,
Just let your feet go clippety~clop,

Your tail goes swish and the wheels go round,
Giddy up we're homeward bound.

Horsey! Horsey! Don't you stop,
Just let your feet go clippety~clop,

Your tail goes swish and the wheels go round,
Giddy up, we're homeward bound.

Horsey! Horsey! on your way,
We've done the journey many a day,

Your tail goes swish and the wheels go round
Giddy up we're homeward bound.

We ain't in a hustle,
We ain't in a bustle,
Don't go tearing up the road.

We ain't in a hurry,
We ain't in a flurry,
And we ain't got a heavy load.

So! Horsey! Horsey! Don't you stop,
Just let your feet go clippety~clop,

Your tail goes swish and the wheels go round,
Giddy up we're homeward bound.

You don't need the whip now,
Goodness knows.

You don't need the reins,
so I'll take a little doze.

Horsey! Horsey! Don't you stop,
Just let your feet go clippety~clop,

Your tail goes swish and the wheels go round,
Giddy up we're homeward bound.

Horsey! Horsey!
1937
Box, Cox, Butler & Roberts
were the writers and composers
of this much loved tune
which must have been played at many a dance
because the ageing score
at which I am now looking bears
the names of at least three owners and a
long defunct band called
'The Black Aces'
My grandfather went round his Medical Practice
in a pony and trap - the year 1901;
now in the year 2000 I go round in a bright red thing
a Japanese Ferrari no less
capable of 160mph
and we now have symptoms for which there are
no known diseases.
And they call that 'progress'! ;-)
