Katie At The Races

At Arlington at the race outside of town Herself and me were up before the dawn She fixed her hair up and then we headed down On a fine spring morning The car park swelled as far as you could see The queue's alive with bubbling energy I found a place for her and me to see On a fine spring morning 3, 5, and 6 away they run, she boxed'em in the number one They pounded on the track like thunder jarring to the bone And me I took the number 2, the nag her name was something new I put her in trifecta and she crossed the line alone Run you bollix! The sun shone down and the wine and whiskey flew The day went on and we had a drink or two I held her up to fix the buckle on her shoe On a fine spring morning Then she grabbed me by the hair, And kissed me underneath the stair And nearly tore my coat as we went rolling down the floor Then she grabbed me by the hand, Saying take me now she did command I wrapped her in my arms And we headed for the door
