Subject: Lyr Add: LITTLE WHITE HORSE (from Rex Allen)
This sounds like Broadway's idea of a great cowboy song:
LITTLE WHITE HORSE
As sung by Rex Allen on "Greatest Cowboy Songs" (2011)
Little white horse, I got a gal in Texas.
Little white horse, ya gotta get me there.
Whenever she writes, the letter's full of Xs,
Kisses by mail to tell me that she cares.
CHORUS: Yippee-i-o and away we go, my little white horse.
Come on and cover ground,
'Cause we're Laredo bound.
Yippee-i-ay, we're on our way, my little white horse.
I never saw moonlight shinin' so bright.
I can hear the cowboys howlin' tonight.
If they howl at my baby, I'll shoot 'em on sight.
Hurry-up-a-giddy-up, hurry-up-a-giddy-up,
Hurry up, my little white horse.
I feel her lips close to my lips.
Soon we'll be kissin'
Down by the banks of the Rio Grande,
And when I've found she's on my mind,
I want to fly there.
Giddap, my little white horse.
[SCAT SINGING]
CHORUS
