Stewball

Oh, Stewball era un caballo de carreras, y desearía que fuera míoOh, Stewball was a racehorse, and I wish he were mine
Nunca tomaba agua, siempre tomaba vinoHe never drank water, he always drank wine

Su brida era de plata, su crin era de oroHis bridle was silver, his mane it was gold
Y el valor de su silla nunca fue contadoAnd the worth of his saddle has never been told

Oh, los terrenos de la feria estaban abarrotados, y Stewball estaba allíOh the fairgrounds were crowded, and stewball was there
Pero las apuestas eran fuertes por el bayo y la yeguaBut the betting was heavy on the bay and the mare

Y allá arriba, delante de todosAnd a-way up yonder, ahead of them all
Llegó trotando y bailando mi noble StewballCame a-prancin' and a-dancin' my noble stewball

Aposté por la yegua gris, aposté por el bayoI bet on the grey mare, I bet on the bay
Si hubiera apostado por el viejo Stewball, sería un hombre libre hoyIf I'd have bet on ol' stewball, I'd be a free man today

Oh, el búho ulula, y la tortolita gimeOh the hoot owl, she hollers, and the turtle dove moans
Soy un pobre muchacho en apuros, estoy lejos de casaI'm a poor boy in trouble, I'm a long way from home

Oh, Stewball era un caballo de carreras, y desearía que fuera míoOh, Stewball was a racehorse, and I wish he were mine
Nunca tomaba agua, siempre tomaba vinoHe never drank water, he always drank wine
