REQ ID/LYRICS: Get up old dobbin

[Stacy Grose]

This is a song my mother used to sing. I can remeber bits and pieces. It
goes something like....

Get up old Dobbin the shopping is done
the buggy is loaded get up lazy one
....

there's miles to go before sundown

Chorus:
I like to take a horse and buggy
as I go traveling through the town.
I like to hear old Dobbin's clip clop
I like to feel the wheels go round.

Please reply to sgr...@midsouth.rr.com

And so the word went out from "Stacy Grose" <sgr...@midsouth.rr.com>:

The best I could do was partial lyrics from a song called "Horsey, Horsey"
on this site:

The only other one I found was called "Put On Your Old Grey Bonnett"
but the lyrics don't match with your request, just the horse's name, Dobbin.
Here's the partial lyrics anyway, hope they help track it down:

Horsey, horsey , on your way,
We've been together for many a day
So let your tail go swish as the wheels go 'round --
Giddy-up! We're homeward bound.

I like to take a horse and buggy as I go riding through the town,
I like to hear old Dobbin's clip-clop, I like to feel the wheels go 'round.

Cheers,

TD

I could whistle up an old tune
That your memory might recall
Rustle up some reminisce
'Bout the good old days and all
from Harry Chapin's "If My Mary Were Here"

For a good time call

I remember singing that song in grade school. The words we sang were:

Giddap, old Dobbin, we're going to town
Let's get those wheels a-turning around
Let's get those wheels a-turning around
There's miles to go before sundown.

I like to drive my horse and buggy
When I go traveling to the town.
I like to hear old Dobbin's clip-clop
I like to feel the wheels go 'round

Clip-clop, clip-clop, clip-clip-clop, Whoa!

Get up old Dobbin, the shopping is done
The buggy is loaded, get up lazy one.
Let's get those wheels a-turning around
We've got to get home before sundown.

I like to drive my horse and buggy
When I go traveling to the town.
I like to hear old Dobbin's clip-clop
I like to feel the wheels go 'round

Clip-clop, clip-clop, clip-clip-clop, Whoa!

The music teacher used to give two people in the class pairs of coconut-halves to clack together in rhythm, and it sounded like a horse's hoofbeats on the pavement.

Yes, this is the one that I was taught in school in 1959.
