- Horsey, Horsey is a comedy song written in 1937 by Paddy Roberts, Elton Box, Desmond Cox and Ralph Butler and which was made popular by Jack Jackson, Billy Cotton and Henry Hall. Original lyrics: [Verse 1] Farmer Grey's got a one-horse shay,He takes to town on market day.Travelling home while the lights are low,He sings this song and away they go. [Chorus] Horsey, horsey, don't you stop,Just let your feet go clipity clop.Your tail goes swish and your wheels go round,Giddy up, we're homeward bound.Horsey, horsey, on your way,We've got a journey of many a day.Your tail goes swish and your wheels go round,Giddy up, we're homeward bound.We ain't in a hustle,We ain't in a bustle,Don't go tearing up the road.We ain't in a hurry,We ain't in a flurry,And we ain't got a very heavy load.So horsey, horsey, on your way,We've got a journey of many a day.Your tail goes swish and your wheels go round,Giddy up, we're homeward bound. [Verse 2] Going home, when they get half way,They call a halt at the "Load of Hay".He has just one, then he has one more,And you'll hear him singing after three or four. [Chorus] Horsey, horsey, don't you stop,Just let your feet go clipity clop.Your tail goes swish and your wheels go round,Giddy up, we're homeward bound.Horsey, horsey, on your way,We've got a journey of many a day.Your tail goes swish and your wheels go round,Giddy up, we're homeward bound."We ain't in a hustle,We ain't in a bustle,Don't go tearing up the road.We ain't in a hurry,We ain't in a flurry,And we ain't got a very heavy load.So horsey, horsey, on your way,We've got a journey of many a day. Your tail goes swish and your wheels go round, Giddy up, we're homeward bound.You don't need the whip, now goodness knows.You don't need the reins so I'll take a little doze.Horsey, horsey, on your way,We've got a journey of many a day. Your tail goes swish and your wheels go round, Giddy up, we're homeward bound. The chorus is mostly sung as a round and the verses not sung.The chorus of the song was sung by Ruth Madoc (as Gladys Pugh) in an episode of the BBC TV situation comedy, Hi-de-Hi! ('The Pay Off', 1982), set in a holiday camp in the late 1950s. (en)
