Sherry In The Saddle.

By A. H. 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.
