And the temper of a bear had
But I backed a mare to win
And on her I've all my tin
So we'll take a trial spin, Sweet Marie
All your hearts, Sweet Marie
You'll never win a gory pit for me
ought to know me mighty well
For at every fence we fell,
Were lavender and rose for Sweet Marie
Ah, but now, no thanks to you,
sure I'm quite a different hue
For I'm only black and blue, Sweet Marie
All your house, Sweet Marie,
You'll never win the gall we play for me.
ought to know me mighty well,
For at every fence we fell,
Oh, we're coming up to race,
Runners up into your place, my Sweet Marie.
Will you stop your waltzing round
Or we'll both be on the ground
And we never will be found, Sweet Marie
On your heart, Sweet Marie
You'll never win the gall we played for me
Ought to know me mighty well
For at every fence we fell,
Oh, we're coming up to race, my sweet Marie
I have backed you for a place,
Oh, we barely hit the don
I fell off and you went on
And my money is all gone, sweet Marie
All your house, sweet Marie
Past the court, sweet Marie
You're a stared through, I find
But you're not the proper kind
For you're stead too far behind
