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?

[chorus]:
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
When daddy left home
He sailed on with his ship

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

[chorus]

'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 daddy died

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