[Gm]
Well, you've no [G] business buying the mare like that, [Gm] but buy her if you must.
[G] Get the end off his cigar, spout it in the dust.
She's old, she's lame, she's barren too, she's not worth feed or hay.
[Gm] But I'll give her this, he blew smoke at me, she was something in her day.
[G] I recall her well ten years ago, [Gm] she was a winner in her pride.
She was [G] fast and lean and willing, they raced her past her time.
And though she had the heart, her legs were gone and it wasn't hard to see.
They kept her at it in the hopes [Gm] of just one more small victory.
[G] She was shunted round from track to track, from Kentucky to Maine.
[G]
They'd run her in cheap climbers, all doped up to mask her pain.
And if it's my advice you want, I'd say the poor [A] thing's had her day.
Throwing good cash [Gm] after bad, it's best you turned away.
Well they [G] let her round the auction shed and the [Gm] bidding started low.
I shook over dog food, someone said the market's been [A] that slow.
She [G] raised her head, she pricked her ears and before [D] the hammer fell, [G] she was mine.
My friend turned round to [Gm] me, you're soft-headed, I can tell.
She's been [G] shoved from pillar to post, said I, she's always done her best.
They used her up, they wrung her dry and think she'd earned a rest.
So she does not but end her days beneath some shady tree.
I'll have saved her from the knacker's yard, that's enough for me.

That was near two years [G] ago, [Gm] she's filled out some since then.
[G] More so since she's been in full, she eats enough for [D] ten.
And this morning as I crept to the barn, around about half past three,
thirsted nursing on still trembling legs, one more [Gm] small victory.
