Stewball lyrics

Way out in California

Where Stewball was born

All the jockeys in the country

Said he blew there in a storm

You bet on Stewball you might win, win, win

Bet on Stewball you might win

It was a big day in Dallas

Don't you wish you was there

You would'a bet your last dollar

On that iron gray mare

You bet on Stewball you might win, win, win

Bet on Stewball you might win

When the horses were saddled

And the word was given "go", given "go"

All the horses, they shot out

Like an arrow from a bow

You bet on Stewball you might win, win, win

Bet on Stewball you might win

When that big bell was a-ringing

And the horses was run

And that big bell was a-singing

And the horses did run

You bet on Stewball you might win, win, win

Bet on Stewball you might win

The old folks they hollered

The young folks did bawl

The children said look, look

At that noble Stewball

You bet on Stewball you might win, win, win

Bet on Stewball you might win

You bet on Stewball you might win, win, win

Bet on Stewball you might win
