G Em Am i rode him in england , i rode him in spain , D Dsus4 D G C D and i never did lose , boys , i always did gain . G Em Am so come all you gamblers , wherever you are , D Dsus4 D G C D and don`t bet your money on that little grey mare . G Em Am most likely she`ll stumble , most likely she`ll fall , D Dsus4 D G C D but never you`ll lose , boys , on my noble stewball . G Em Am as they were A - riding , `bout halfway round , D Dsus4 D G C D that grey mare she stumbled , and fell on the ground . G Em Am and way out yonder , ahead of them all , D Dsus4 D G C D came A - prancing and A - dancing , my noble stewball . G Em Am stewball was a race horse , and by the day he was mine , D Dsus4 D G C G he never drank water , he always drank wine . set8
