When I was a boy
I just had one joy
I only dreamed of a horse

A rockin' horse
Fast as can be
Daddy won't you buy that horse for me?

Gimme, gimme, gimme that horse
Then I go on and ride away
Gimme, gimme, gimme that horse
Then I go on and ride away

I was so young
And then he left home
He sailed on with his ship

He said: "Son
When I come ashore
I buy that horse you're asking for"

Gimme, gimme, gimme that horse
Then I go on and ride away
Gimme, gimme, gimme that horse
Then I go on and ride away

't Was only next day
I heard mamma say:
"Oh, my god" through the phone

I heard her cry
Now I know why
It was the day when he died

Gimme, gimme, gimme that horse
Then I go on and ride away
Gimme, gimme, gimme that horse
Then I go
Then you go on
Then you go on
And ride away (Ride away)

In the sky

Gimme, gimme, gimme that horse
Then I go on and ride away
Gimme, gimme, gimme that horse
Then I go on
Then you go on
And ride away
