Now my father was no jockey

But he sure taught me how to ride

My father was no jockey

But he sure taught me how to ride

He said First in the middle

And then you swing from side to side



Now my father told me Son,

When I was only one

Don't ride your horse too fast

Cause you'll never never last



I'm a jockey

And I sure know how to ride

First in the middle

And then you swing from side to side



Now he said Always take your time

And you won't be left behind

When you jump into your saddle

Be sure to hold your lines



I'm a jockey

And I sure know how to ride, ride

First in the middle

And then you swing from side to side



Now I said my father was no jockey

But he sure taught me how to ride

I said my father was no jockey

But he sure taught me how to ride

But I can't do it baby

Unless I have you by my side

Well well
