Edison Gold Moulded record #9392, "The Next Horse I Ride On", sung by Helen Trix (released November 1906).

Played on a model A Edison Home from 1904.

Lyrics below:

Father came into some money about a week ago,
Told me to learn to ride was the proper thing, you know;
From the stable round the corner he went and hired a nag,
Dressed me up in some riding clothes, and told me to hunt the stag!
Father got a dozen men to put me on the filly;
What a job they had; I was fairly mad!
Put me on the wrong way, and I did look awful silly;
I was looking at his tail, and didn't know what to do!

CHORUS: The next horse I ride on, I'm going to be tied on;
There was I, jumping the rails, over hills and over the dales!
I shouted, 'Tally-ho!'; the gee-gee gave a cough;
It took a long time to get me on - but not so long to come off!

(See comments for next verse)
