Verse 1
(A minor) The auctioneer (D major) said,
(D minor) (D major) I'm not through yet,
(C major) Here's a horse the (A minor) likes
of which you've (D major) never seen,
And the (G major) straw hats in the (C major) sun,
with a (A minor) face beneath each (E minor) one,
Shown (C major) doubtful and the
(G major) auctioneer (A minor) got mean.
Do you think that you can find
a horse (F major) like this every (E major) day?
(A minor) I don't think there's
any better on (F major) this earth,
(A minor) And the more you pay,
(E major) the more it's (A minor) worth.
Then out she (D major) came,
Verse 2
a snow- white mare,
(C major) Prancin' and a (A minor) dan cin'
in the (D major) silver sun,
They (G major) watched her from be (C major) hind,
as she (A minor) did her bump and (E minor) grind,
Walkin' (C major) naked,
sad (G major) and graceful (A minor) for their fun.
Oh how I wished I could afford
(F major) that lady painted (E major) white,
A (A minor) queen with high nobility of (F major) birth, (A minor)
(E major) But the more you (A minor) pay,
(E major) the more it's (A minor) worth.
My pockets (D major) hung

Verse 3
with empty blues,
(C major) Si lent heels (A minor) were standin'
on (D major) my growin' pains,
My (G major) bid was not too (C major) bad,
two (A minor) bits was all I (E minor) had,
And the (C major) stable boy
(G major) just handed me (A minor) the reins.
Well the gallery went wild,
and the (F major) auctioneer (E major) half smiled,
(A minor) What we don't sell we shoot (F major) or give away,
(E major) 'Cause the (A minor) more you pay,
(E major) the more it's (A minor) worth.
Verse 4
(A minor)
And (B minor) where was the (E minor) boy,
who rode (B minor) on her (E minor) back,
With his (B minor) arms holding (E minor) tight round
her (A minor) neck ? (A major) (A minor)
(B minor) How tightly he (E minor) clung,
When (B minor) they both were (G major) (E minor) young,
And (C major) fate had not let (A minor) this
poor girl (E minor) be so
(A minor) Disgraced.
