I got the horse right here 
-6   6   -6  -7 -7*  -7*
The name is Paul Re-vere 
-6     6  -6 -7   7*   7
And here's a guy that says 
-6* -6   6    -6   -6    
if the weath-er's clear 
-9  7    8  -6
Can do, can do, 
-7*  -5*  -5* -5   -5*  -7  -5
this guy says the horse can do 
-7*-5* -5* -5   -5*  -7  -5
If he says the horse can do, 
7    5  -6 -3*
can do, can do. 
-6    6  -6   -8   8   8
For Paul Re-vere I'll bite 
-6 6   -6   -7    -7*  -7*
I hear his foot's all right 
-6    6   -6 -7  7*   7
Of course it all de-pends 
-6*-6   6     -6   -6
if it rained last night 

-9     7     8   -6
Likes mud, likes mud, 
-7* -5* -5*  -5   -5*   -7   -5
this X means the horse likes mud 
-7* -5*  -5*  -5   -5*   -7   -5
If that means the horse likes mud, 
7      5    -6   -3*
likes mud, likes mud. 

-6 6   -6   -8   8  8
I tell you Paul Re-vere 
-6    6  -6 -7 -7*  -7*
Now this is no bum steer 
-6    6  -6  -7  7* 7  -6*
It's from a hand-i-cap-per 
-6       6  -6   -6
that's real sin-cere 
-9  7    8  -6
Can do, can do, 
-7*  -5* -5*  -5   -5*  -7  -5
this guy says the horse can do. 
-7*-5* -5* -5   -5*  -7  -5
If he says the horse can do 
7   5    -6 -3*
can do - can do. 
-9   -9  -9  -5* 7  -7*  -9    -9    -9
Paul Re-vere. I got the horse right here. 

 I'm pickin' Valentine, 
'cause on the morning line 
A guy has got him figured at five to nine 
Has chance, has chance, 
this guy says the horse has chance 
if he says the horse has chance, 
has chance, has chance 

I know it's Valentine, 
the morning work looks fine 
Besides the jockey's brother's a friend of mine 
Needs race, needs race, 
this guy says the horse needs race 
If he says the horse needs race, 
needs race, needs race. 
I go for Valentine, 'Cause on the morning line, 
The guy has got him figured at five to nine 
Has chance, has chance, 
this guy says the horse has chance 
Valentine! I got the horse right here. 

 But look at Epitaph. he wins it by a half 
According to this here in the Telegraph 
"Big Threat" - "Big Threat" 
This guy calls the horse "Big Threat" 
If he calls the horse "Big Threat", 
Big Threat, Big Threat. 

And just a minute, boys. 
I've got the feed box noise 
It says the great-grandfather was Equipoise 
Shows class, shows class. 
This guy says the horse shows class 
If he says the horse shows class 
Shows class, show's class. 

So make it Epitaph, he wins it by a half 
According to this here in the Telegraph. 
Epitaph! I got the hore right here!
