Wall! dat's all right for firs' half mile
W'en Clevelan' Bay commence for break, Dat mak' me feel very moche lak smile, I'm sure "Castor" he's took de cake. But Lalime pull heem hard on line An' stop "Clevelan'" before go far, It's all no good, he can't ketch mine I'm go more quicker lak express car. I'm feel all right for my monee, For sure mon Choual he's took firs' place, W'en 'bout arpent from home, sapre, Somet'ing she's happen, I'm los' de race. Wan bad boy he's come out on track, I cannot see dat bad boy's han'; He's hol' somet'ing behin' hees back, It was small bell, I understan'. Can spik for dat, ma horse go well, An' never show no sign of sweat, Until dat boy he's ring hees bell-- Misere! I t'ink I hear heem yet! Wall! jus' so soon mon Choual "Castor" Was hear dat bell go kling! klang! kling! He's tink of course of city car, An' spose mus' be conductor ring. |
