I Wonder Where My Easy Rider's Gone 1913

Miss Susie Johnson
is as crazy as can be
about that easy riding kid
they call Jockey Lee,
Now don't you think it's funny
only bets her money
in the race friend jockey's goin' to be
There was a race
down at the track the other day
and Susie got
an inside tip right away
She bet a "hundred to one"
that her little "Hon"
would bring home all the "mon"
when she found out
"Jockey" was not there,
Miss Susie cried out in despair:

I wonder where
my easy rider's gone today,
He never told me he was goin' away,
If he was here he'd win the race
if not first he'd get a place
Cash in our winnings
on a joyride we'd go,
right away.
I'm losing my money
that's why I am blue.
To win a race,
Lee knows just what to do.
I'd put all my junk in pawn,
to bet on any horse that jockey's on.
Oh! I wonder
where my easy rider's gone?

I wonder where
my easy rider's gone today,
He never told me he was goin' away,
If he was here he'd win the race
if not first he'd get a place
Cash in our winnings
on a joyride we'd go,
right away.
I'm losing my money
that's why I am blue.
To win a race,
Lee knows just what to do.
I'd put all my junk in pawn,
to bet on any horse that jockey's on.
Oh! I wonder
where my easy rider's gone?

Miss Susie said: "Now here's
a chance to make some dough,
I dreamed about a horse's name
now that's right I know,
and Lee can win more races
at more diff'rent places
wins them just as easy as can be,
Now ev'rybody round the track
likes Jockey Lee,
I'm crazy 'bout him
'cause he's so good to me,
He is a racer for fair,
but rides "on the square"
I tell you that boy's "there"
That he's not here makes me feel so blue,
He's all I had,
I'm telling you:

I wonder where
my easy rider's gone today,
He never told me he was goin' away,
If he was here he'd win the race
if not first he'd get a place
Cash in our winnings
on a joyride we'd go,
right away.
I'm losing my money
that's why I am blue.
To win a race,

I'd put all my junk in pawn,
to bet on any horse that jockey's on.
