If I Didn't Get A Ride Lyrics By Richie Kavanagh
Back to the songs of Richie Kavanagh on the site.
I rode big Maggie and I rode her sister too
I even rode her mother I've ridden quiet a few
I've been on top so many times I take it in my stride,
I don't know what I'd ever do if I didn't get the ride.
Oh we are the greatest jockies that you have ever seen
At Cheltehnam and Punchestown everywhere we've been
We ride now for a living and we live now for the ride
And when we get a good ride it gives us so much pride.
Isn't that right Johnny ? that's right that's the truth.
Did you get ere a good ride lately ?
The greatest ride I ever got in the Curragh Of Kildare
Her name was Nelly Fagin she was a lovely mare,
Panting underneath me you couldn't ask for more
Such a ride I never had since or before.
I rode big Maggie and I rode her sister too
I even rode her mother I've ridden quiet a few
I've been on top so many times I take it in my stride,
I don't know what I'd ever do if I didn't get the ride.
Oh we are the greatest jockies that you have ever seen
At Cheltehnam and Punchestown everywhere we've been
We ride now for a living and we live now for the ride
And when we get a good ride it gives us so much pride.
Oh ride Jocky Johnny, ride ride ride,
I don't know what I'd ever do if I didn't get the ride.
Sometimes now I'd get three rides sometimes I'd get four
And in the busy season I'd get even more,
We have to keep on riding everything we get,
Johnny and meself we havn't rode a winner yet.
I rode big Maggie and I rode her sister too
I even rode her mother I've ridden quiet a few
I've been on top so many times I take it in my stride,
I don't know what I'd ever do if I didn't get the ride.
Oh we are the greatest jockies that you have ever seen
At Cheltehnam and Punchestown everywhere we've been
We ride now for a living and we live now for the ride
And when we get a good ride it gives us so much pride.
Oh ride Jocky Johnny, ride ride ride,
I don't know what I'd ever do if I didn't get the ride.
I rode big Maggie and I rode her sister too
I even rode her mother I've ridden quiet a few
I've been on top so many times I take it in my stride,
I don't know what I'd ever do if I didn't get the ride.
Oh we are the greatest jockies that you have ever seen
At Cheltehnam and Punchestown everywhere we've been
We ride now for a living and we live now for the ride
And when we get a good ride it gives us so much pride.
Isn't that right Johnny ? that's right that's the truth.
Did you get ere a good ride lately ?
The greatest ride I ever got in the Curragh Of Kildare
Her name was Nelly Fagin she was a lovely mare,
Panting underneath me you couldn't ask for more
Such a ride I never had since or before.
I rode big Maggie and I rode her sister too
I even rode her mother I've ridden quiet a few
I've been on top so many times I take it in my stride,
I don't know what I'd ever do if I didn't get the ride.
Oh we are the greatest jockies that you have ever seen
At Cheltehnam and Punchestown everywhere we've been
We ride now for a living and we live now for the ride
And when we get a good ride it gives us so much pride.
Oh ride Jocky Johnny, ride ride ride,
I don't know what I'd ever do if I didn't get the ride.
Sometimes now I'd get three rides sometimes I'd get four
And in the busy season I'd get even more,
We have to keep on riding everything we get,
Johnny and meself we havn't rode a winner yet.
I rode big Maggie and I rode her sister too
I even rode her mother I've ridden quiet a few
I've been on top so many times I take it in my stride,
I don't know what I'd ever do if I didn't get the ride.
Oh we are the greatest jockies that you have ever seen
At Cheltehnam and Punchestown everywhere we've been
We ride now for a living and we live now for the ride
And when we get a good ride it gives us so much pride.
Oh ride Jocky Johnny, ride ride ride,
I don't know what I'd ever do if I didn't get the ride.
