Well the angels came to see me today Said "We've taken your racehorse away" And I believe it was that bookmaker from crail I believe that he put one in her pail All the finest in the field Only measured to her shoulders, they only ever see her heels And I believe (I believe) every sporting man will cry I believe (I believe) to see his income pass him by She won the Lanark Silver Bell and she stole every heart away She stood her stand at sixteen hands and I'd ride her easy But they've taken her away, they've taken my racehorse away There's a racecourse in the sky And that's where all the racing horses must go by and by And I believe (I believe) every steward, lord and groom, I believe (I believe) that they're calling her name She would look at me in the eyes and that was all she had to say She stood her stand at sixteen hands and I'd ride her easy But they've taken, they've taken my racehorse away They've taken my racehorse away They've taken my racehorse away They've taken my racehorse away They've taken my racehorse away They've taken my racehorse away From Letras Mania
