歌词
From between the shafts of a ragman's cart
John Willie took an horse
He fed him duck and muffins
And he trained him for the course
He raced him at every race course
Against the finest and the choice
But there wasn't a mount in England
As could lick John Willie's horse
Lick John Willie's horse
Well, a favourite with the gentry
At Ascot Royal one day
Unaffected by the royalty
And wealth and finery
He quickly took the lead
And was the first to end the course
To the cheers of the lords and ladies
Shouting, "Ho, John Willie's horse"
"Ho, John Willie's horse"
Once Jimmy Frizzle sent for him
When Flu went in its tow
He turned out for the Latics
And he scored the winning goal
The crowd went mad and cheered and sang
And shouted themselves hoarse
And the players they all gathered round
To kiss John Willie's horse
Kiss John Willie's horse
Last year the Hound of Marshall
Was held in the middle of town
There were Mersey mares on parlour
There was horseflesh shown all round
There were donkeys shown on Greaves' arm steps
And stallions too, of course
But between the pillars on the town hall steps
John Willie showed his horse
John Willie showed his horse
Yee-haw
