stewball chords
peter , paul and mary ( traditional english/irish )

open and/or capo vi

D Em A D G A

D Em
oh stewball was a racehorse , and i wish he were mine .
A D G A
he never drank water , he always drank wine .

D Em
his bridle was silver , his mane it was gold .
A D G A
and the worth of his saddle has never been told .

D Em
oh the fairgrounds were crowded , and stewball was there
A D G A
but the betting was heavy on the bay and the mare .

D Em
and A – way up yonder , ahead of them all ,
A D G A
came A – prancing and A – dancing my noble stewball .

D Em
i bet on the grey mare , i bet on the bay
A D G A
if id have bet on old stewball , id be a free man today .

D Em
oh the hoot owl , she hollers , and the turtle dove moans .
A G G A
i m a poor boy in trouble , i m a long way from home .

D Em
oh stewball was a racehorse , and i wish he were mine .
A D G A
he never drank water , he always drank wine .
