Peter, Paul and Mary (traditional English/Irish) C Dm G C F G
                  C                             Dm
Oh Stewball was a racehorse, and I wish he were mine.

               G                      C  F G
He never drank water, he always drank wine.

               C                       Dm
His bridle was silver, his mane it was gold.

                     G                     C  F G
And the worth of his saddle has never been told.

                        C                         Dm
Oh the fairgrounds were crowded, and Stewball was there

                    G                        C  F G
But the betting was heavy on the bay and the mare.

             C                     Dm
And a-way up yonder, ahead of them all,

                      G                    C  F G
Came a-prancing and a-dancing my noble stewball.

             C                       Dm
I bet on the grey mare, I bet on the bay

                      G                            C  F G
If Id have bet on old Stewball, Id be a free man today.

                     C                            Dm
Oh the hoot owl, she hollers, and the turtle dove moans.

                  G                            C  F G
I m a poor boy in trouble, I m a long way from home.

                  C                             Dm
Oh Stewball was a racehorse, and I wish he were mine.

               G                      C  F C
He never drank water, he always drank wine.
