Here Goes My Lord
: RIDING SONGS for FATHER'S KNEE: Boys And Girls Bookshelf
Here goes my lord--
A trot! a trot! a trot! a trot!
Here goes my lady--
A canter! a canter! a canter! a canter!
Here goes my young master--
Jockey-hitch! jockey-hitch! jockey-hitch! jockey-hitch!
Here goes my young miss--
An amble! an amble! an amble! an amble!
The footman lags behind,
And goes gallop, a gallop, a gallop, to make up his time.
