about

This is a totally true story.. well, not really. Written as part of a 'songskirmish' at fawm.org

lyrics

Way back when 120 years ago
If there were places that you had to go
There were no cars to drive yourself around
Nobody heard those engine sounds

A different propulsion was all the rage
For this was part of the equestrian age
Horses carried people all over the place
Every single trip was a horse race

And thru all sorts of weather even rain and snow
People with horses, no cars, no car radios
So on those journeys people would get bored
To hear some music would be such a reward

And the horses had a feeling they would soon be replaced soon
And so to keep us happy they would sing a tune..

Horse music, sung by horses,
arranged by horses, and performed by same
once you’ve heard horse music nothing else will seem the same…

but tho the music was oh so sweet
sooner or later the horses had to admit defeat
the automobile age could not be delayed
but let’s celebrate those days when the horses with a neigh… (sang)

Horse music, sung by horses,
arranged by horses, and performed by same
once you’ve heard horse music nothing else will seem the same…
