Thanks, GUEST, for refreshing this thread even though it looks like you wanted to talk about something else...

While we're here, my husband swears that when he was growing up in small-town Texas, he used to hear a song with this chorus:

Horsey keep your tail up, horsey keep your tail up
keep the sun out of my eyes
Horsey keep your tail up, horsey keep your tail up
Never mind about the flies.

He asserts that it's NOT the tune on Joe Offer's polka site link -- he's sung the chorus to me but unfortunately he's completely tone deaf so I can't begin to guess at the tune from what I'm hearing -- and he claims that the verses were about a very bad rider who puts the wrong foot in the stirrup and ends up riding backwards.

Any info out there about that version?

(Yes, I've done my Mudcat homework this time, so you needn't scour the 'cat site on my behalf.)

Thanks!

Claire
