hey little horsey, don’t you stop verse/song fragment

Call back to the song:
Hey little horsey, don’t you stop,
Just let your hooves go clicketty clop.
Tail go swish, wheels go round
Giddy up we’re homeward bound.

Origin

Variation of a 1938 song by Paddy Roberts & Ralph Butler. One of Pa’s favourite ditties as a journey got underway. Also sung by Win and Clare when sitting behind one or several of their champion horses

Collector

Pa – 1950s
Noel King – father of Naomi

Notes

The more common version is slightly different:
Horsie, horsie don’t you stop
Just let your feet go clippety clop
Your tail goes swish and the wheels go round
Giddy up we’re homeward bound.
