Leadbelly Stewball
Way out in California
Where Stewball was born
All the jockeys in the country
Said he blew there in a storm
You bet on Stewball you might win, win, win
Bet on Stewball you might win
It was a big day in Dallas
Don't you wish you was there
You would'a bet your last dollar
On that iron gray mare
You bet on Stewball you might win, win, win
Bet on Stewball you might win
When the horses were saddled
And the word was given "go", given "go"
All the horses, they shot out
Like an arrow from a bow
You bet on Stewball you might win, win, win
Bet on Stewball you might win
When that big bell was a-ringing
And the horses was run
And that big bell was a-singing
And the horses did run
You bet on Stewball you might win, win, win
Bet on Stewball you might win
The old folks they hollered
The young folks did bawl
The children said look, look
At that noble Stewball
You bet on Stewball you might win, win, win
Bet on Stewball you might win
You bet on Stewball you might win, win, win
Bet on Stewball you might win
