Lyrics:

Chapman-Tench

Got on me horse one evening, him kick up his shoes and he run
We leavin’ a trail far behind us, me an’ me horse an’ me rum
Now me got drunk in some alehouse, oh, got me some gal for the night
Horse shacking up in the stable, me shacking up alright

Ah-ooh
Ah-ooh

We carried on to the daytime, me an’ me gal an’ me rum
Soon it’s time that we leaving to kick up some dust in the sun
But me fall down in the roadside, being as me drunk as a skunk
Waking, oh, Lawdy me head hurt, looking, me horse she is gone, gone, gone

Ah-ooh
Ah-ooh

Oh, looking me horse an’ me love they both gone
Oh Lord, with my horse you know

Brrr me cold now me clothes gone, me money, me boots an’ me gun
With a gal who last night said she loved me, well, at least now she left me some rum
Oh, the trouble is me hands and me feet tied but here come a man walkin’ on
But he stop and say : ‘Hello sweetie’ - seem like me luck she am gone today, yeah

Ah-ooh
Ah-ooh

Look like me luck she am gone today
I lost my horse, my boots, lost my gun
Just been like one o’ them days, yeah
Lawdy, me head hurt
