Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]Wel[G]l,[A][D]
I bought me a horse with a broken leg
They said that she never could [G]win
[D]"Only fit for a bullet", they said
She’ll be [G]coming [A]out of a tin

[Verse 2]
So [D]I took her home, I fed her on hay
I tied her up with [G]a sling
Well, she [D]just kept howling all of the night
[G]And that’s the [A]reason I sing

[Verse 3]
Well, [D]both ends burning,
both ends burning
That’s how she got her [G]name
[D]Both ends burning, both ends burning
I never will [C]sleep [G]again

[Verse 4]
Ah, [G]both [D]ends burning,
both ends burning
That’s how she got her [G]name
[D]Both ends burning, both ends burning
I never will [C]sleep again
[G]

[Verse 5]
I took her [D]to the race-track
one one fine day
They couldn’t believe their [G]eyes
They said, [D]if that nag even
stays on her feet
[G]We’re gonna give [A]you first prize

[Verse 6]
Ah, [D]both ends burning,
both ends burning
That’s how she got her [G]name
Oh, [D]both ends burning, both ends burning
I never will [C]sleep [G]again

[Verse 7]
Oh, [D]both ends burning,
both ends burning
That’s how she got her [G]name
Both [D]ends burning, both ends burning
I never will [C]sleep again

[Interlude 1]
[G][D][G]
[D][A][C][G][D]
[G][D][A][C][G]

[Verse 8]
She [D]ran so fast that it took my breath
You never did see such a [G]win
But [D]when she crossed that finishing line
I was [G]just too [A]tired to grin

[Verse 9]
Ah, [D]both ends burning,
both ends burning
That’s how she got her [G]name
Oh, [D]both ends burning, both ends burning
I never will [C]sleep [G]again

[Verse 10]
Oh, [D]both ends burning,
both ends burning
That’s how she got her [G]name
[D]Both ends burning, both ends burning
I never will [C]sleep again

[Outro 1]
