Upbeat, cheerful, country swing
Wrote this song about my dear Aunt Jewel and her life on the country farm. She rode a horse several miles to school as a child. This song is upbeat and a cheerful song about her childhood.

The music was recorded at the Cypress Room Studio in Nashville TN by HIT songwriter and recording artist, Don King along with his session musicians. The guys did a great job!
Whoa down! Giddie Up Now!, Dear Sweet Little Jewel Rose
Little Jewel Rose, Her name they chose
Out on the Ole’ tree farm, The youngest she’d be
In the family tree, Her heart so full of charm
Took a few spills Thro valley n’ hills
Sat in the saddle with pride, School to the farm
braved a lot of harm, A pony she did ride
CHORUS:
Whoa down! Giddie Up Now! Got to get to school
Teacher’s await’n, She’s astate’n
Have to learn the rules, Whoa down! Giddie Up Now!
Steady as she goes, Don’t you throw my little Jewel Rose
Mama’s big yard, Lessons unbarred
Flowers all along, Feed’n the birds
From a bag of seeds, Love flowed forth in song
Daddy he’d call, Let’s have a ball
Make a wish real big in size, Bait’in that hook
Toss it in the brook, Pray’n for the biggest prize
CHORUS:
Whoa down! Giddie Up Now! Learned a lot in school
God was await’n, He was state’n
Live By My Golden Rule, Whoa down! Giddie Up Now!
Steady as she goes, Don’t you throw my little Jewel Rose
[Bridge]
Mamma’s little jewel, Daddy’s sweet rose
Everybody knows, In your heart she’ll grow
Whoa down! Giddie Up Now! Dear sweet Little Jewel Rose
Whoa down! Giddie Up Now! That’s how my story goes
On dear sweet Little Jewel Rose
