The Angels Took My Racehorse Away

Well, the angels came to see me today
 Said "We've taken your racehorse away"
 And I believe it was that bookmaker from . . .
 I believe that he put one in a pail
 Oh, the finest in the field only measure to our shoulders
 They only ever see our heels
 And I believe every sporting man will cry
 I believe they'll see everything come passing by
 She won the Lanark Silver Bell
 And she stole every heart away
 She stood her stand at sixteen hands
 And I'll ride her easy
 But they've taken, taken my racehorse away
 There's a racecourse in the sky
 And that's where all the racing horses must go by and by
 And I believe every steward, lord and groom
 I believe that they're calling her home
 She would look me in the eye
 And that was all she had to say
 She stood her stand at sixteen hands
 And I'll ride her easy
 But they've taken, taken my racehorse away
 They've taken my racehorse away
 They've taken my racehorse away
 They've taken my racehorse away
 They've taken my racehorse away
 Taken my racehorse away
