recording of August 21 1931, New York
from Matchbox (LP MSE1013),
You say you're a race horse mama, your jockey ain't never been found
You say you're a race horse mama, but your jockey ain't never been found
But you've found the best little jockey, I'm the best rider in town
Now you may be a good race horse mama, but I don't think you're so hot
You may be a good race horse , but I don't think you're so hot
'Cause when it comes to ridin' what you know, baby I've done forgotten
To be a good race horse, a good jockey's what you really need
To be a good race horse mama, a good jockey's what you really need
'Cause when you get on your home stretch, you don't know how to pick up your speed
Now to be a good race horse, you got to try and hold your second spot
To be a good race horse mama, you got try to hold your second spot
As soon as you get on your home stretch, give your jockey every bit you got
Now if you wanna be a good race horse, let me do your trainin' from now on
If you want to be a real good race horse, let me do your trainin' from now on
And I will make you win races, mama that have never been won
I'm a jockey by trade, I've rode the best horses that run
I'm a jockey by trade, I've rode the best in horses that run
And if you don't start jumpin', I will show you how the ridin's done
Here is the table of contents.
