| Well I bought me a horse with a broken leg
|
| They said that she never could win
|
| Only fit for a bullet, they said
|
| She’ll be coming out of a tin
|
| So I took her home, I fed her on hay
|
| I tied her up with a sling
|
| Well, she just kept howling all of the night
|
| And that’s the reason I sing
|
| Well, Both Ends Burning, Both Ends Burning
|
| That’s how she got her name
|
| Both Ends Burning, Both Ends Burning
|
| I never will sleep again
|
| Ah, Both Ends Burning, Both Ends Burning
|
| That’s how she got her name
|
| Both Ends Burning, Both Ends Burning
|
| I never will sleep again
|
| I took her to the race-track one fine day
|
| They couldn’t believe their eyes
|
| They said, if that nag even stays on her feet
|
| We’re going to give you first prize
|
| Ah, Both Ends Burning, Both Ends Burning
|
| That’s how she got her name
|
| Both Ends Burning, Both Ends Burning
|
| I never will sleep again
|
| O Both Ends Burning, Both Ends Burning
|
| That’s how she got her name
|
| Both Ends Burning, Both Ends Burning
|
| I never will sleep again
|
| She ran so fast that it took my breath
|
| You never did see such a win
|
| But when she crossed that finishing line
|
| I was just too tired to grin
|
| Ah, Both Ends Burning, Both Ends Burning
|
| That’s how she got her name
|
| Both Ends Burning, Both Ends Burning
|
| I never will sleep again
|
| O Both Ends Burning, Both Ends Burning
|
| That’s how she got her name
|
| Both Ends Burning, Both Ends Burning
|
| I never will sleep again |
