[15] This is the Way the Ladies Ride
Traditional

This is the way the ladies ride
Ladies ride, ladies ride,
This is the way the ladies ride,
Tri-tree, tri-tree, tri-tree.

This is the way the gentlemen ride,
Gentlemen ride, gentlemen ride,
This is the way the gentlemen ride,
Gallop-a-gallop a trot, trot, trot.
Gallop-a-gallop a trot.

This is the way the farmers ride,
Farmers ride, farmers ride,
This the way the farmers ride,
Hobbledy, hobbledy hoy,
Hobbledy, hobbledy hoy,
Hobbledy, hobbledy hoy,
Hey!

Bouncing Song: Child sits in grown up’s lap side-saddle and
bouncing lightly for the Ladies; facing forward and legs astride
for the Gentlemen, with a more vigorous bounce; and, hanging
on tightly to the child, a wilder bounce for the Farmers.
