Blame the Horse

I lost it all on ‘Tennessee Hero’

Dressed to the nines a proper de Niro

All I’ve got is a hole in my shoe



a Bad bet from the outset, I’m looking for outlet

Trying to cash a bad check, trying to hide a shamrock tattoo





I’ll blame it on the horse

Never blame it on the truth

I’ll blame it on these worn out home made shoes



I’ll blame it on the suit

I’ll blame it on the blues

I’ll use any, any old excuse





Nothing ventured nothing feared

I’m dusty, I’m billy, I’ll be frank

I’ve grown a beard



That night it all went wrong

My fortunes were all gone

You left me by the tracks

Scratching out this song



Guess work is for the folk

Who can’t pick out a winner

Thank God I learned to sing for my dinner





I’ll blame it on the horse

Never blame it on the truth

I’ll blame it on these worn out home made shoes



I’ll blame it on the suit

I’ll blame it on the blues

I’ll use any, any old excuse







I’ll blame it on the horse

Never blame it on the truth

I’ll blame it on these worn out home made shoes



I’ll blame it on the suit

I’ll blame it on the blues

I’ll use any, any old excuse
