Peter, Paul & Mary Stewball Lyrics:
Oh, Stewball was a racehorse.
And I wish he were mine.
He never drank water.
He always drank wine.

His bridle was silver.
His mane it was gold.
And the worth of his saddle.
Has never been told.

Oh, the fairgrounds were crowded.
And Stewball was there.
But the betting was heavy,
On the Bay [4] and the Mare.

And a-way up yonder,
Ahead of them all,
Came a-prancin' and a-dancin',
My noble Stewball.

I bet on the gray mare.
I bet on the Bay [4] .
If I'd a-bet on old Stewball.
I'd be a free man today.

Oh, the hoot owl she hollered.
And the turtle dove moaned.
I'm a poor boy in trouble.
I'm a long way from home.

Oh, Stewball was a racehorse.
And I wish he were mine.
He never drank water.
He always drank wine.
