My Daddy Was a Jockey Lyrics

Yes, my father was a jockey
And he taught me how to ride
Yes, my father was a jockey
And he taught me how to ride
He say, "Once in the middle, and then from side to side"

He said, "Ride, Johnny ride
And ride ′til the break of day"
Yeah, ride, Johnny ride
And ride 'til the break of day
"I know you can ride, for you never lost a race"

Yes, I ride so hard sometime
I ride all in my sleep
Yes, I ride so hard sometime
I ride all in my sleep
′Cause my father was a jockey
And he sure taught me how to ride

I'm gonna ride in the mornin'
I ain′t gonna ride no more
I′m gonna ride in the mornin'
And I ain′t going to ride no more
