Coal Black Mare Lyrics by Arthur “Big Boy” Crudup

Mean Ol’ Frisco

0

[Verse 1]
I got a coal black mare
Oh lordy, how that horse can run
I got a coal black mare
Oh lord, how that horse can run
Yes, she win every race
Man, you don't see how it's done
[Verse 2]
I give her three gold teeth
I put earrings in her ear
I give her three gold teeth
I put earrings in her ear
Now there ain't no need a-worryin'
I did swear the stuff is here
[Verse 3]
I cut her mane
I put streamline shoes on her feet
I cut her mane
I put streamline shoes on her feet
Now they a horse in Kentucky
I do swear my horse can be
[Verse 4]
Say she foxtrotted, babe
And I rode that horse today
Say she foxtrotted, babe
And I rode that horse today
Now when mornin' come
She had never broke her gait
[Verse 5]
She's a coal black mare
She got a long black curly mane
She's a coal black mare
She got a long black curly mane
Yes, and I'll follow that horse
Man, in any land
