A         D      A
I'm going to the races
               E
To see my pony run
    A    D       A
And if I win any Greenbacks
      E                    A
We're sure gonna have some fun

[Verse 1]

     A      D         A
They say we can't get married
                           E
They say I'm not worthy of you
     A          D                    A
they don't know what they're talking about
     E                          A
they don't know what we've gone through

[Chorus]

A         D      A
I'm going to the races
               E
To see my pony run
    A    D       A
And if I win any Greenbacks
      E                    A
We're sure gonna have some fun

[Verse 2]

A        D          A
Now when you see me coming
                         E
Better raise your window high
    A        D       A
And when you see me leaving little girl
E                       A
Hang down your head and cry

[Chorus]

A         D      A
I'm going to the races
               E
To see my pony run
    A    D       A
And if I win any Greenbacks
      E                    A
We're sure gonna have some fun

[Verse 3]

A        D        A
Now when you go a-courtin
                  E          A
There's something you should do
A         D                A
That long tail blouse that you wear
      E              A
Don't do a thing for you
