The Yella Belly Boys - Terry the Horse Lyrics

It was the summer of 1874
Always beside me was Terry the horse
Terry was strong, and Terry was fast
One thing that Terry couldn't understand was
What it felt like to be free
I can't stand to see him leave
Goodbye Terry
Wherever you go, don't go far
Goodbye Terry
I didn't know it would be so hard to let you go
It's on the long nights when I miss him the most
Forgot to tie Terry up to his post
Woke up in the morning thinking, "Where did he go?"
I hope that he's happy now that he knows
What it feels like to be free
I can't stand to see him leave
Goodbye Terry
Wherever you go, don't go far
Goodbye Terry
I didn't know it would be so hard to let you go
Nowadays I'm not thinking straight
All I can hear is his little neigh
Goodbye Terry
Wherever you go, don't go far
Goodbye Terry
I didn't know it would be so hard to let you go
