Burl Ives - Horace The Horse lyrics

Horace the horse on the merry-go-round Went up and down, round and round He's been sad since the day he found He's the very last horse on the merry-go-round The music began and away they go High and low, to and fro Poor old Horace would always say “I'm the very last horse again today” How he tried and tried and tried But he just never could win Horace cried and cried and cried, ‘Cos all the other horses were ahead of him Then came the day on the merry-go-round Horace turned, looked around, then said, “Gosh, Oh gee! I'm the very first horse on the merry-go-round The others are following me!”
