Well I went to the racetrack

with my baby on my mind

Eeh-yeah

with my baby on my mind

When I got back home this evenin'

Didn't have a lousy dime



Bet all my money

on a horse called My name is Sue

Yeah I bet all my money

on a horse called My name is Sue

And the horse ran so slow

Like it didn't know what to do



He start off like a great horse

finished up just like a mule

Started like a race horse

finished up just like a mule

I looked at the code board

And I felt just like a fool



When I got home this evenin'

My baby met me at the door

When I got home this evenin'

My baby met me at the door

She said you ain't got no money honey

You can't stay here no more!
