The Clover Leaf (Barrel Racing song)

(A Country Western song looking for music. Volunteers?)

Across the starting line she rides

Sue and her horse named Chief

Sue's a barrel racing beauty;

Chief's king of the clover leaf.

Sue knows she's in the money

If she can just beat seventeen

Chief dips around those barrels

And every turn is clean


Refrain:


Round and round, up and down

And through that clover leaf

A grand old time for a gal named Sue

And a pony she calls Chief

How I love that barrel racer

How I'd love to woo and chase her

But she's a teen. She's just eighteen

And she's in love with Chief!


Verse Two


She stands up in the stirrups

and she urges Chief to race.

Her hips are undulating

to her pony's frantic pace

She gives Chief a love tap

as they near the finish line

The crowd is on its feet,

and the clock reads sixteen nine


Refrain


Round and round, up and down

And through that clover leaf

A grand old time for a gal named Sue

And a pony she calls Chief

How I love that barrel racer

How I'd love to woo and chase her

But she's a teen. She's just eighteen

And she's in love with Chief!


Third verse


How I'd like to ask that gal

Sweet Sue to marry me

But she's a teen, just eighteen

I'm a clown of twenty three

We both work the barrels

She circles them on Chief

But I just jump inside them

To hide from a ton of beef


Refrain


Round and round, up and down

And through that clover leaf

A grand old time for a gal named Sue

And a pony she calls Chief

How I love that barrel racer

How I'd love to woo and chase her

But she's a teen. She's just eighteen

And she's in love with Chief!
