The Angels Took My Race Horse Away - Richard Thompson

作词：Richard Thompson

作曲：Richard Thompson

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
