The Horse Told Me (09-09-49) - Nat King Cole (纳·京·高尔)[00:00:00]
In the big Handicap[00:00:16]
There's a positive snap[00:00:17]
Go bet on a horse[00:00:19]
Called 'The Sheik[00:00:20]
He'll walk off with the crown[00:00:22]
If he doesn't fall down[00:00:24]
And my boy that's what[00:00:25]
Happened last week[00:00:27]
Oh the Owner told[00:00:28]
Clarence the clocker[00:00:30]
The clocker told jockey McGee[00:00:32]
The jockey of course [00:00:35]
Passed it on to the horse[00:00:37]
And the horse told me[00:00:38]
Tell the age of the beast[00:00:46]
By his teeth and at least[00:00:47]
His teeth in the paddock looked great[00:00:50]
But this toothy old red had[00:00:53]
To sneeze in the stretch[00:00:54]
And he won by the loss of a plate[00:00:56]
Oh the Owner told Clarencee the clocker[00:00:58]
The clocker told jockey McGee[00:01:02]
The jockey of course [00:01:05]
Passed it on to the horse[00:01:07]
And the horse told me[00:01:09]
I once bet on a steed[00:01:16]
Of phenominal speed[00:01:18]
Boy she was fast as Aunt Nell[00:01:20]
But the judges they cried [00:01:23]
This one's disqualified [00:01:24]
There's a jet engine under her tail[00:01:26]
Oh the Owner told Clarence the clocker[00:01:29]
The clocker told jockey McGee[00:01:33]
The jockey of course [00:01:36]
Passed it on to the horse[00:01:37]
And the horse told me[00:01:39]
Tomorrow I'll bet just for kicks that I'll get[00:01:57]
What's gold is just ol' yeller lead[00:01:59]
I can lose with a grin if the horse don't come in[00:02:03]
I'll just blow a big hole in my head[00:02:06]
Oh the Owner told Clarence the clocker[00:02:09]
The clocker told jockey McGee[00:02:12]
The jockey of course [00:02:16]
Passed it on to the horse[00:02:17]
And the horse told me[00:02:19]
I had put down a deuce[00:02:24]
On a tip that got loose[00:02:26]
This horse in the paddock looked stunning[00:02:28]
I had overheard talk he could win in a walk[00:02:30]
And he could but the others were runnin[00:02:34]
Oh the Owner told Clarence the clocker[00:02:36]
The clocker told jockey McGee[00:02:40]
The jockey of course passed it on to the horse[00:02:44]
And the horse told me[00:02:51]
That's what he said[00:02:57]
