My Daddy Was A Jockey

My Daddy Was a Jockey - John Lee Hooker (约翰·李·胡克)

Written by：John Lee Hooker

Yes my father was jockey and he taught me how

To ride

Yes my father was jockey and he taught me how

To ride

He said once in the middle then from side to

Side

He said ride Johnny ride and ride till the break

Of day

Yeah ride Johnny ride and ride till the break of

Day

I know you can ride you never lost a race

Yes I ride so hard sometimes I ride all in my

Sleep

Yes I ride so hard sometimes I ride all in my

Sleep

'Cause my father was a jockey and he sure taught

Me how to ride

I'm gonna ride in the mornin' and I ain't gonna

Ride no more

I'm going to ride in the mornin' and I ain't

Gonna ride no more
