the wicked good band - hussey's heart كلمات الأغنية

my wife had just run off with my accountant
the irs took everything i’ve got
except the few bucks that i had left in my pocket
so i walked to the track, to watch the ponies trot

well, i knew my future depended on my winning
if i could play the right horse, i’d have the good life yet
well, i stood by the rail, and i watched them do their warmups
i’d find the right one, then i’d place my bet

well, there was powerful lookin’ horseflesh on thе racetrack
just warmin’ up, they made thosе sulkies fly
there was corsica’s cannon, vern’s blazer, and rubber chicken
snores_a_lot and jugster burned on by
(jugster burned on by)

some horses look better at the finish
some horses look better at the start
if i could do it all again, it’s even odds, my friend
everything i own on hussey’s heart
everything on hussey’s heart

well, then i saw a horse kinda crawl outta the paddock
it hobbled on down the track, and as it passed on by
i swear he turned his head and looked right at me
he shook his mane, then he winked his eye
well, the program said his name was hussey’s heart
his yearly earnings stood at just about fifty bucks
it said he didn’t run all that well on a, on a dry track
he did a little worse in the rain and the muck

oh, he’d had some decent races up in litchfield
but that was back in 19_and_83
the odds goin’ off were 600_to_1 against him
only one person bet on him, and that was me
(one bet, that was him)

some horses look better at the finish
some horses look better at the start
if i could do it all again, it’s even odds, my friend
everything i own on hussey’s heart
everything on hussey’s heart

well, they were off; he looked like an oxen
just standin’ in a meadow full of deer
around the first turn, and headed down the backstretch
ol’ hussey’s heart struggled to bring up the rear

well, somewhere, some guys were makin’ lotsa money
and somewhere, some guys were havin’ all the luck
but i just felt like tearin’ up my tickets
’cause it was clear that i had squandered my last buck
but then sumpin’ happened, as they made that last turn
ol’ hussey’s heart began to make his move
and from the backstretch he charged like hercules’ chariot
and i swear i saw some sparks fly from his hooves
(sparks fly from his hooves)

some horses look better at the finish
some horses look better at the start
if i could do it all again, it’s even odds, my friend
everything i own on hussey’s heart
everything i own on hussey’s heart

well, he won, of course, and i made lotsa money
but it didn’t take long for that cash and i to part
and though right now i don’t have one red penny
i’m a richer man for knowin’ hussey’s heart

so, if you’re in fryeburg and it’s right around fair time
go on down to the track and watch ’em trot on by
and if one kinda crawls outta the paddock
see if he turns his head and looks ya right in the eye

and if it’s him, dig down deep in your pockets
play it all, and put down two fer me
don’t worry if he’s draggin’ down the backstretch
he’ll make it up, and a richer man you’ll surely be
(man you’ll surely be)
some horses look better at the finish
some horses look better at the start
if i could do it all again, it’s even odds, my friend
i’d bet everything i own on hussey’s heart

- the wicked good band
