I got a coal-black mare :
but Lord how that horse can run
Yes she win every race :
man you don't see how it's done
I give her three gold teeth :
I put earings in her ears
There ain't no use a-worrying :
I do swear the stuff is here
I cut her mane :
I put streamline shoes on her feet
Ain't a horse in the country :
I do swear my horse can't beat
Say she foxtrot and pace :
and I rode that horse today
Yeah when morning comes :
she had never broke her gait
She going to the race track at midnight :
and I rode her all night long
Yeah when morning come :
she had never changed her weight
She's a coal-black mare :
she's got long black curly mane
Well I'll follow that horse :
man in any land
but Lord how that horse can run
