(Horsey, horsey don’t you stop
Just let your feet go clippety-clippety-clop
Let your tail go swish and the wheels go round
Giddy-up, Neiiiiigh)

Farmer grey’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 done the journey many a day
And you 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
So don’t go tearing up the road
We ain’t in a hurry and we ain’t in a flurry
And we ain’t got a very heavy load

Horsey, horsey don’t you stop
Just let your feet go clippety-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-clippety-clop
Let your tail go swish and the wheels go round
Giddy-up, Neiiiiigh)

Tail go swish and the wheels go round
Giddy-up, Neiiiiigh)

tail go swish and the wheels go round
Giddy-up, Neiiiiigh)

tail go swish and the wheels go round
Giddy-up, Neiiiiigh) (fade)
