Stewball

O velho Stewball era um cavalo de corridaOld Stewball was a racehorse
E eu queria que ele fosse meuAnd I wished he were mine
Ele nunca bebeu águaHe never drank water
Ele sempre tomou vinhoHe always drank wine

Sua brida era de prataHis bridle was silver
E sua crina era de ouroAnd his mane it was gold
Mas o valor da sua selaBut worth of his saddle
Nunca foi contadoHas never been told

A feira estava lotadaThe fairgrounds was crowded
E o velho Stewball estava láAnd old Stewball was there
Mas as apostas estavam altasBut the betting was heavy
No baio e na éguaOn the bay and the mare

Oh, lá em cimaOh, way up yonder
Na frente de todosAhead of them all
Veio dançando e pulandoCame prancing and dancing
Meu nobre StewballMy noble Stewball

Se eu apostasse na égua cinzaIf I bet on the grey mare
E apostasse no baioAnd I bet on the bay
E se eu tivesse apostado no velho StewballAnd if I'd bet on old Stewball
Hoje eu seria um homem livreI'd be a free man today

Oh, a coruja gritaOh, the hoot owl she hollers
E a rolinha gemeAnd the turtle dove moans
Sou um pobre garoto em apurosI'm a poor boy in trouble
Estou longe de casaI'm a long way from home

O velho Stewball era um cavalo de corridaOld Stewball was a racehorse
E eu queria que ele fosse meuAnd I wished he was mine
Ele nunca bebeu águaHe never drank water
Ele sempre tomou vinhoHe always drank wine
