Well I went to the racetrack
with my baby on my mind
Eeh-yeah
with my baby on my mind
When I got back home this evenin'
Didn't have a lousy dime

Bet all my money
on a horse called My name is Sue
Yeah I bet all my money
on a horse called My name is Sue
And the horse ran so slow
Like it didn't know what to do

He start off like a great horse
finished up just like a mule
Started like a race horse
finished up just like a mule
I looked at the code board
And I felt just like a fool

When I got home this evenin'
My baby met me at the door
When I got home this evenin'
My baby met me at the door
She said you ain't got no money honey
You can't stay here no more!
