bobtail

 

[OzDigger]

The horse isn't named Bob or Bobtail. The term 'bob tail' refers to the horses shortened tail which is often trimmed or arranged short when pulling sleighs etc.

 

[lancer]

Could be Mr. Ed.

 

[Captain]

I say Bobtail. I once had a black horse named "Blackie".

 

[DMNamiot]

No Name the horse was lank and lean...

If you listen to the song it says " bells on bob's tail ring" which in the south during the christmas season years ago, people would tie bells on the horses tail when they would go in the horse pulled sleighs, so bells on BOB'S tail ring....it's gotta be Bob, ......Sammy

 

[Warrior]

No, the bells are attached to the bobtail and when the tail moves, the bells ring; it's not "Bob's" tail there Sammy, the line is "Bells on Bobtail ring" .........................

I have been proven wrong, my mistake, did sound like it was saying Bob though...Sammy

Sammy, did you go to University of Florida...Gator education.....sorry, couldn't resist, I figure I would get you before Capitolron!

Just like Jimi Hendrix sang, " 'Scuse me/while I kiss this guy"

Or, "There's a bathroom on the right"

OK, I had to cheat, but I still haven't found the horse's name yet.

I did find three additional verses, that I had never heard before, so I know the name of the singer's date, and what actually happens to him as he's gliding along to fast in the sleigh.

But no horse's name yet.

I won't post it, anyway, if I do find it, since I've peeked.

The horse's name is not mentioned in the lyrics. Sammy thought his name was Bob but as mentioned by myself and others the bob tail part of the song refers to the horses shortened tail.

 

[eborris]

I'll go with Jingle.

Ah, thanks, Oz! It's been so long since the original post, that I forgot that it was Sammy himself asking the horse's name.

Well, nothing lost, I've learned more trivia, that's always a plus.

And besides, anyone who knows "Camptown Races" (or is a Foghorn Leghorn fan) would know about bobbed tails, too. "Bet my money on a bob-tailed nag, somebody bet on the bay".
