Lyrics Horse Named Regret - Mojo Juju

Horse Named Regret

It sounded like a baby’s rattle shaking from a pram
Lister ate a knuckle sandwich and Tiny broke his hand
And the Worm was on the corner playing bookie on a fight
And I was trying on my luck, the same as any other night
I put everything I had down on a horse they called Regret
I won a fortune and I lost it all at dice
And my money comes and goes
And I keep following my hunch
You wanna bet me I can’t make this match burn twice?
I got a hot tip
It’s a sure thing
I’m gonna hold out for the big win
She’s a knockout, it’s the real deal
I’m gonna step up, take a big swing
I’m gonna grind my heels until they hit the felt
And I know I’m gonna buckle like a Texan’s belt
And Pachuca’s in the street getting fancy with the knife
And that girl I like’s adoring me
The same as any other night
I put everything I had down on a horse they called Regret
I won a fortune and I lost it all at dice
And my baby comes and goes
And I keep following my hunch
And I will bet you she ain’t coming home tonight
I got a hot tip
It’s a sure thing
I’m gonna hold out for the big win
She’s a knockout, it’s the real deal
I’m gonna step up, take a big swing
I’m gonna grind my heels until they hit the felt
And I know I’m gonna buckle like a Texan’s belt
And Pachuca’s in the street getting fancy with the knife
And that girl I like’s adoring me
The same as any other night
I put everything I had down on a horse they called Regret
I won a fortune and I lost it all at dice
And my baby comes and goes
And I keep following my hunch
And I will bet you she ain’t coming home tonight
I got a hot tip
It’s a sure thing
I’m gonna hold out for the big win
She’s a knockout, it’s the real deal
I’m gonna step up, take a big swing
I put everything I had down on a horse they called Regret
I won a fortune and I lost it all at dice
And my baby comes and goes
And I keep following my hunch
And I will bet you she ain’t coming home tonight
