Stewball

Joan Baez

    G                           Emi           Ami 
1.Stewball was a good horse he wore his head high
                       D                          G  C  D 
  and the mane on his foretop was fine as silk thread.  
2.I rode him in England I rode him in Spain
  and I never did lose boys I always did gain.
3.So come all you gamblers wherever you are
  and don't bet your money on that little grey mare.
4.Most likely she'll stumble most likely she'll fall
  but never you'll lose boys on my noble Stewball.
5.As they were a-riding 'bout halfway round
  that grey mare she stumbled and fell on the ground.
6.And way out yonder ahead of them all
  came a-prancing and a-dancing my noble Stewball.
7.Stewball was a race horse and by the day he was mine
  he never drank water he always drank wine.
