Whirlaway the Horse Songtext
bet on a long shot
a colt in the third
paid out considerable
broke me from miserable
cashed my winnings & built the bar
called it The Whirlaway
that was the pony's name

'41-'42, Horse Of The Year
Triple Crown victory
he's been real good to me
child of Belnheim & Dustwhirl
British blood pumping
that chestnut was something

not long ago Whirlaway died
it's his picture here on my arm
if you're in here drinking just raise a glass to him
our good old lucky charm
