I heard parts of it on The Chieftains album Another Country, and I'd like to play around with it a bit. Can anyone help? Thanks, ~Vash |

"Does your horse carry double, Uncle Joe, Uncle Joe (3 times)
"Would you rather ride a pacer, Uncle Joe, Uncle Joe (3x)
Up up my ladies, two in a row, up up my ladies, two in a row
Was she once a single footer, Uncle Joe, Uncle Joe (3x)
Up up my ladies again... |
