Lyrics

Goin’ up north of Lafayette
Watch them ponies dance around
If I see one steady twitchin’ they tail
I’m gon’ lay my money down

Some days it might be a dollar
Some days it might be ten
Some days I bet they gon’ place and show
Other days I bet they gon’ win

Well, I ain’t much of a gamblin’ man
But when I get the chance
I head up north of Lafayette
To watch them ponies dance
Just to watch them ponies dance

There’s dapples and grays and one brown stockin’
All lined up in a row
Starter man bring that flag on down
And off them ponies go

Ears on back and steady low runnin’
Headin’ for the other side
Jockey ain’t thinkin’ ‘bout nothin’, Man
But hangin’ on for the ride

Well, I ain’t much of a gamblin’ man
But when I get the chance
I head up north of Lafayette
To watch them ponies dance
Just to watch them ponies dance
