歌词
Went down to Kentucky just to play the fair
Went down to Kentucky just to play the fair
It's a mighty fine place, you all ought to go there
Lord, I'm a-leavin' my baby, leavin' her all alone
Lord, I'm a-leavin' my baby, leavin' her all alone
Said my baby cried out, "Papa, come back and let me hear you moan"
Lord, I went to see the horse they call Man o' War
I went to see Man o' War, the horse that had it made
Said my baby says he's fast, but he really haven't got my speed
I stopped by Mr. O'Neal down on Limestone Street
I stopped by Mr. O'Neal down on Limestone Street
He's a mighty fine man, had a pile of people for me to meet
Went by Mr. Wright Porter, the president of the fair
Went by Mr. Wright Porter, the president of the fair
He's a mighty fine man, he's always on the square
Went out to the race track, races hadn't started yet
Went out to the race track, races hadn't started yet
Someone said the track is sloppy, boys, and I swear it was wet
Stopped by Mr. Steve Lee's across from the Jackson Hall
Stopped by Mr. Steve Lee's across from the Jackson Hall
Got a letter from my baby, she love
Me, beat me, and it ain't all stall
When I leave Kentucky, I know I really can't lose
When I leave Kentucky, I know I really can't lose
I'm coming back to my baby, but I'll have the Lexington blues
