Lyrics
A streak of lightning, a streak of lightning
Is what that lucky little jockey from the South is
If you deny it, or Oggyfy it
Then you can go and put your money where your mouth is
Since I was a little boy I've been 'round the tracks
Seen a lot of jockeys fast as mountain jacks
But I know, what I know
Hee-ooh-wee! Little Augie is a natural man
He don't use a bridle, he don't need his hand
Augie talks a language horses understand
And it's true, that it do
Hee-ooh-wee! Little Augie is a natural man
I've seen plenty of backstretch ramblers
But I'll tell you for fair
Augie sets on a horse's neck like most folks sets on a chair
Though he's got a big heart, you can get a bet
He don't weigh a hundred even sopping wet
He's as short, as his name
Just the same, Augie is the biggest little man
Augie told a stork what brought him through the air
"Bet a half a dollar I can beat you there"
And he did, yes he did
Hee-ooh-wee! Little Augie is a traveling man
Daddy looked at Augie lying in the bed
Augie looked at Daddy, this is what he said
"What a race did I place"
Hee-ooh-wee! He spoke up like a natural man
I ain't stopping to study how come all this happens to be
Yes, I'm lucky to little Augie, and he's lucky to me
Augie's on a racetrack riding like the wind
Bad foot's in the stable singing Augie and hee-ooh-wee!
Roll along, that's my song
Augie is the biggest little man
