The Mills Brothers -
Musical Moments to Remember: The Mills Brothers – From Swing to Sweet (Recorded 1931-1953)
Single Saddle
Oh gee, but I get a tingle
Riding clippity-clop, atop my single saddle
Women they try to tempt me
But the minute the pantry's empty, I skedaddle
Single saddle
Leading my horse to water
With a clippity-clop I meet a neighbours daughter
Some of them talk so flowery
But the minute they show the dowry, I must straddle
Single saddle
Ain't a filly been born, be she rose or a thorn
Gonna keep me from the lone prairie
When they're rounding up strays
All they ever get are nays
From my palomino pal and me, oh
When they get out a halter
For a-hitchin' me to the altar, I skedaddle
I must straddle
With a clippity-clop, I hop atop my single saddle
Oh gee I get a tingle
Riding atop my single saddle
Women they try to tempt me
But the minute the pantry's empty, I skedaddle
Single saddle
Lead my horse to water
When I meet my neighbours daughter
Some of them talk so flowery
But the minute they show the dowry, I must straddle
Single saddle
Ain't a filly been born, be she rose or a thorn
Gonna keep me from the lone prairie
When they're rounding up strays
All they ever get are nays
From my palomino pal and me, oh
When they get a halter
To hitch me to the altar, I skedaddle
I must straddle
With a clippity-clop, I hop atop my single saddle
Ain't a filly been born, be she rose or a thorn
Gonna keep me from the lone prairie
When they're rounding up the strays
All they ever get are nays
From my palomino pal and me, oh
When they get out a halter
For a-hitchin' me to the altar, I skedaddle
I must straddle
With a clippity-clop
I hop atop my single saddle
Riding clippity-clop, atop my single saddle
Women they try to tempt me
But the minute the pantry's empty, I skedaddle
Single saddle
Leading my horse to water
With a clippity-clop I meet a neighbours daughter
Some of them talk so flowery
But the minute they show the dowry, I must straddle
Single saddle
Ain't a filly been born, be she rose or a thorn
Gonna keep me from the lone prairie
When they're rounding up strays
All they ever get are nays
From my palomino pal and me, oh
When they get out a halter
For a-hitchin' me to the altar, I skedaddle
I must straddle
With a clippity-clop, I hop atop my single saddle
Oh gee I get a tingle
Riding atop my single saddle
Women they try to tempt me
But the minute the pantry's empty, I skedaddle
Single saddle
Lead my horse to water
When I meet my neighbours daughter
Some of them talk so flowery
But the minute they show the dowry, I must straddle
Single saddle
Ain't a filly been born, be she rose or a thorn
Gonna keep me from the lone prairie
When they're rounding up strays
All they ever get are nays
From my palomino pal and me, oh
When they get a halter
To hitch me to the altar, I skedaddle
I must straddle
With a clippity-clop, I hop atop my single saddle
Ain't a filly been born, be she rose or a thorn
Gonna keep me from the lone prairie
When they're rounding up the strays
All they ever get are nays
From my palomino pal and me, oh
When they get out a halter
For a-hitchin' me to the altar, I skedaddle
I must straddle
With a clippity-clop
I hop atop my single saddle
