I'm going to the races
To see my pony run
And if I win any reenbacks
We're sure gonna have some fun

They say we can't get married
They say I'm not worthy of you
they don't know what they're talking about
they don't know what we've gone through

* Refrain

Now when you see me coming
Better raise your window high
And when you see me leaving little girl
Hang down your head and cry

* Refrain

Now when you go a-courtin'
There's something you should do
That long tail blouse that you wear
Don't do a thing for you

* Refrain
