Jockey Blues

(Bill Samuels). Bill Samuels and the Cats 'n Jammers Three recorded this kind of "double entendre" blues in 1945; it's on the 8-CD box "Mercury Blues & Rhythm Story 1945-1955".

Now my father was no jockey
But he sure taught me how to ride
My father was no jockey
But he sure taught me how to ride
He said First in the middle
And then you swing from side to side

Now my father told me Son,
When I was only one
Don't ride your horse too fast
Cause you'll never never last

I'm a jockey
And I sure know how to ride
First in the middle
And then you swing from side to side

Now he said Always take your time
And you won't be left behind
When you jump into your saddle
Be sure to hold your lines

I'm a jockey
And I sure know how to ride, ride
First in the middle
And then you swing from side to side

Now I said my father was no jockey
But he sure taught me how to ride
I said my father was no jockey
But he sure taught me how to ride
But I can't do it baby
Unless I have you by my side
Well well
