CAPO: 2nd Fret
 
 
 
INTRO: D G   Am   D  G C D
 
                   G                               Am
Oh, Stewball was a racehorse, and I wished he were mine
               D                      G  C  D
He never drank water, he always drank wine___
 
 
               G                          Am
His bridle was silver and his mane it was gold
                     D                     G  C  D
But the worth of his saddle has never been told___
 
 
                   G                             Am
The fairground was crowded, and old Stewball was there
                    D                        G  C  D
But the betting was heavy on the bay and the mare___
 
 
              G                     Am
Oh,  wa-ay up yonder, ahead of them all
                      D                    G  C  D
Came a-prancing and a-dancing my noble Stewball___
 
 
                G                          Am
If I bet on the grey mare and I bet on the bay
                       D                             G  C  D
If I'd have bet on old Stewball, I'd be a free man today____
 
 
                      G                          Am
Now, the hoot owl did holler and the turtle dove moaned
                  D                            G  C  D
I'm a poor boy in trouble, I'm a long way from home___
 
 
                   G                             Am
Oh, Stewball was a racehorse, and I wish he were mine
               D                      G  C  G  C  G
He never drank water, he always drank wine_________

In the lines about betting it should read: I bet on the grey mare and I bet on the bay D . If I'd have bet on old Stewball, I'd be a free man today____ Not "If I bet on the grey mare etc."
