Horsie goes jog-a-jog-a-jog
The wheels go round and round and round.
Horsie goes jog-a-jog-a-jog
Oh, hear what a rattlety, tattlety sound!
Horsie goes jog-a-jog-a-jog
The wheels they pound and pound and pound.
Horsie goes jog-a-jog-a-jog
While the wagon it rattles along the ground!

Auto, auto.
May I have a ride?
Yes, sir, yes, sir,
Step right inside.
Pour in the water,
Turn on the gasolene,
And chug, chug, away we go
Through the country green.

there is fire, it is warm to lie." So she jumped down from the fence and
on her little padded feet ran softly to the door. There she saw an empty
