Race Track Blues

Well I went to the racetrack, with my baby on my mind
Eeh-yeah, with my baby on my mind
When I got back home this evenin'
Didn’t have a lousy dime
Bet all my money, on a horse called My name is Sue
Yeah I bet all my money, on a horse called My name is Sue
And the horse ran so slow, like it didn’t know what to do
He start off like a great horse, finished up just like a mule
Started like a race horse, finished up just like a mule
I looked at the code board, and I felt just like a fool
When I got home this evenin', my baby met me at the door
When I got home this evenin', my baby met me at the door
She said you ain’t got no money honey
You can’t stay here no more!
