G Am D G C D

                        G             Em                          Am
Stewball was a good horse, he wore a high head,
                                 D Dsus4 D                           G      C D
and the mane on his foretop, was as fine as silk thread.

                     G      Em                         Am
I rode him in England, I rode him in Spain,
                        D Dsus4 D                      G    C D
and I never did lose, boys, I always did gain.

                          G       Em                          Am
So come all you gamblers, wherever you are,
                               D Dsus4 D                       G   C D
and don't bet your money on that little grey mare.

                           G      Em                              Am
Most likely she'll stumble, most likely she'll fall,
                          D Dsus4 D                           G    C D
but never you'll lose, boys, on my noble Stewball.

                         G    Em                        Am
As they were a-riding, 'bout halfway round,
                               D Dsus4 D                         G      C D
that grey mare she stumbled, and fell on the ground.

                     G     Em                          Am
And way out yonder, ahead of them all,
                                      D Dsus4 D                G       C D
came a-prancing and a-dancing, my noble Stewball.

                        G            Em                                    Am
Stewball was a race horse, and by the day he was mine,
                         D Dsus4 D                     G  C G
he never drank water, he always drank wine.
