Chorus:
I'm going to the races
To see my pony run
And if I win any greenbacks
We're sure gonna have some fun
They say we can't get married
They say I'm not worthy of you
They don't know what they're talking about
They don't know what we've been through
Now when you go a=courtin'
There's something you should know
That long tail roustabout you wear
Don't do a thing for you
Now when you see me coming
You better raise your window high
And when you see me leaving little girl
Hang down your head and cry

| I | I | V | V |
| I | I | IV | IV |
