I'll sing you a song and a merry song
Concerning Yorkshire Jen
Who never yet run with horse or mare
But run just now and then
When she came to Newmarket town
The sportsmen viewed her 'round
And all the cry was "Alas, poor wench
She'll never run this ground"
'Cause she was ordinary, hasn't got any
Hasn't got anyone
When she came to the starting post
The mare looked very smart
And let them all say what they will
She never lost her start
When they came to the two mile post
Poor Jen was cast behind
How they laughed and how they jeered
But Jen she did not mind
'Cause she was ordinary, hasn't got any
Hasn't got anyone
'Cause she was ordinary, hasn't got any
Hasn't got anyone
When they came to the three mile post
The mare looked very pale
She laid her ears on her bonnie neck
And past all of them did said
"Come follow me, come follow me
You all will not forget
None of you'll catch me again
And I'll make you all to sweat"
'Cause she was ordinary, hasn't got any
Hasn't got anyone
'Cause she was ordinary, hasn't got any
Hasn't got anyone
When she came to the winning post
The whole crowd gave a cheer
Showered with love from the jockey lad
She jumped like any deer
The jockey said, "This race you've won
This race for me you've got
You could gallop it all again
When the rest could hardly trot"
'Cause she was ordinary, hasn't got any
Hasn't got anyone
'Cause she was ordinary, hasn't got any
Hasn't got anyone
She was ordinary, hasn't got any
Hasn't got anyone
She hasn't got anyone
