There's a big day in Dallas
And I wish I a-was there
Spend my las' hundred dollars
On that iron gray mare
See her travel, all day long, long, long
See her travel all day long
All day long
Well I don't mind horse racing
If it wasn't for my wife
Old Stewball may stumble
And away with my life
Wife and baby, left behind, yeah yeah
WIfe and baby, left behind
Left behind
Old stewball was a black horsw
Jus' as slick as a mole
Had a ring 'round his fore-shoulder
And it shined just like gold
Shined like gold, shined like gold, Lord, Lord
Shined like gold, shined like gold
Shined like gold
Old Stewball was a racehorse
But the poor horse was blind
He ran so fast in Texas
Left his shadow behind
Behind, behind
Left his shadow behind
Left behind
Old Stewball was a racehorse
And old Molly, she was too
Old Molly, she stumbled
And Old Stewball, he just flew
Round the track, round the track, yeah, yeah
Round the track, round the track
Round the track
