Stewball Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][Am][D][G][C][D]
[G]Oh

[Verse 1]
Stewball was a racehorse,
and I [Em]wish he were [Am]mine.
He never drank [D]water,
he always drank [G]wine.[C][D]
[G]His bridle was silver, his [Em]main it was [Am]gold.
And the worth of his [D]saddle
has never been [G]told.

[Verse 2]
[C]Oh [D]the fai[G]rgrounds were crowded,
[Em]and Stewball was t[Am]here
But the betting was [D]heavy on the
bay and the [G]mare.[C][D]
And a-way [G]up up yonder,
[Em]ahead of them [Am]all,
Came a-prancin' and and a-dancin'
[D]my my [G]noble [C]Ste[D]wball.

[Verse 3]
I [G]bet on the grey mare, I [Em]bet on the b[Am]ay
If I'd have bet [D]on ol' Stewball, I'd
be a free man [G]today.[C][D]
Oh the [G]hoot owl, she hollers,
and the [Em]turtle dove [Am]moans.
I'm a poor boy in [D]trouble,
I'm a long [G]way from home.
[C]

[Verse 4]
[D]
[G]Oh Stewball was a racehorse,
and I [Em]wish he were [Am]mine.
He never drank [D]water,
he always drank [G]wine.

[Outro 1]
[C][G]
