Said him have one horse, a burn up the track
The horse can't lose, me can go put on me pot, so me
Feel so nice, me say kiss me neck back
Me have some money inna me secret spot
Me run go take it out, and head fe the track, and
Buy the horse, with all weh me got
Not even bus fare, trees no save back
When the gates sent down me see the horse pon top
Them come a middle turn, him dey a middle pack
With the jockey just a wiggle and a woggle on the back
And the horse foot a go cutty cutty cop cop
When the race done run, a last him come
Me feeling weak, me eyes start turn
A little after that, me drop inna the place
A man go holler out: Say what a disgrace
Gambling lick down the boy pon him face
A woman holler out Take him up inna haste
And ask him how much money he lose inna the race, so she
Hold up me head, and look inna me face
And say: Young man, how much you lose inna the race? So me
Open me eye, and look inna her face, and say
What me lose is my mistake
Me buy the horse two dollar with a two dollar play
