SHERRY IN THE SADDLE.

Alexander Hamilton Laidlaw

Sherry's not in saddle, Sherry's not in saddle, Zip-zip-zip! Zip-zip-zip! Rat-tat-tat! Rat-tat-tat!

Boys in blue skedaddle, Boys in blue skedaddle, Zip-zip-zip! Zip-zip-zip! Rat-tat-tat! Rat-tat-tat!

Sherry's not in saddle, Sherry's not in saddle, The Southron gray Is King to-day,

For Sherry's not in saddle. Sherry's in the saddle, Sherry's in the saddle, Zip-zip-zip! Zip-zip-zip!

Rat-tat-tat! Rat-tat-tat! Boys in gray skedaddle, Boys in gray skedaddle, Zip-zip-zip! Zip-zip-zip!

Rat-tat-tat! Rat-tat-tat! Sherry's in the saddle, Sherry's in the saddle, The Southron gray

Bites grass to-day, For Sherry's in the saddle, Sherry in the saddle, Sherry in the saddle,

Zip-zip-zip! Zip-zip-zip! Rat-tat-tat! Rat-tat-tat! Union foes skedaddle, Union foes skedaddle,

Zip-zip-zip! Zip-zip-zip! Rat-tat-tat! Rat-tat-tat! Sherry in the saddle, Sherry in the saddle,

By night or day, ‘ Twixt Blue and Gray, There's hell to pay, When Sherry's in the saddle.
