Stewball

Stewball, ele era um bom cavalo e mantinha a cabeça erguidaStewball, he was a good horse and he held a high head
E a crina dele era fina como fio de seda.And the hair on his foretop was as fine as silk thread.

A sua brida era de prata, a crina, era de ouroHis bridle was silver, his mane, it was gold
E o valor da sua sela nunca foi contado.And the worth of his saddle has never been told.

Oh, a feira estava lotada e Stewball estava láOh, the fairgrounds were crowded and Stewball was there
Mas as apostas estavam pesadas na égua cinza de ferro.But the betting was heavy on the iron gray mare.

Venham todos vocês, apostadores, de perto e de longe,Come all of you gamblers, from near and from far,
Não apostem seus dólares de ouro na égua cinza de ferro.Don't bet your gold dollars on the iron gray mare.

É bem provável que ela tropece, é bem provável que caiaMost likely she'll stumble, most likely she'll fall
Mas vocês nunca vão perder, rapazes, com meu nobre Stewball.But you never will lose boys, on my noble Stewball

Enquanto eles cavalgavam, pela metade do caminho,As they were a-riding, about hallway around,
A égua cinza tropeçou e caiu no chão.The gray mare, she stumbled and fell to the ground.

E lá adiante, à frente de todos elesAnd way out yonder, ahead of them all
Veio dançando e pulando, meu nobre Stewball.Come a dancin' and a prancin', my noble Stewball.

Stewball, ele era um bom cavalo e mantinha a cabeça erguidaStewball, he was a good horse, and he held a high head
E a crina dele era fina como fio de seda.And the hair on his foretop was as fine as silk thread.
