When My Horse Came In

(앨범: Butcherbird - 2018)

Well, blimey, damn I stand to grow
My horse came in by half a nose
I bought my misses a yellow rose
We had a good feed at the rub-a-dee-bud
We tore off home and had a good cup
And we carried on, like newlyweds, through the night
Oh, we carried on, like newlyweds, through the night

Well, shiver me timbers, I'd eat my hat
It's been so long since we did that
Didn't think we had it in us anymore
I had a schwing and she had a smile
The woman agreed, it had been quite a while
The fire was burning all along
The fire was burning all along

All the birds would chitter chat
I'm winning like a cheshire cat
We were acting half our ages, true
Obvious, the sky is blue
I think our friends and neighbors knew
Had to hide the glory of it all

So down at the track, every Saturday
Twenty bucks on a horse each way
Hoping for another day like that
Well, my horse came in by half a nose
And I bought my misses a yellow rose
I'll get lucky again, I suppose
I'll get lucky again, I suppose

All the birds would chitter chat
I'm winning like a cheshire cat
We were acting half our ages, true
Obvious, the sky is blue
I think our friends and neighbors knew
Had to hide the glory of it all
I'll get lucky again, I suppose
