[00:01.44]The auctioneer said, I'm not through yet
[00:09.95]Here's a horse the likes of which you've never seen
[00:14.51]And the straw hats in the sun, with a face beneath each one
[00:20.25]Shown doubtful and the auctioneer got mean
[00:24.79]Do you think that you can find a horse like this every day
[00:29.84]I don't think there's any better on this earth
[00:33.76]And the more you pay, the more it's worth
[00:40.96]Then out she came, a snow-white mare
[00:48.29]Prancin' and a dancin' in the silver sun
[00:53.12]They watched her from behind, as she did her bump and grind
[00:58.96]Walkin' naked, sad and graceful for their fun
[01:03.87]Oh how I wished I could afford that lady painted white
[01:08.45]A queen with high nobility of birth
[01:12.47]But the more you pay, the more it's worth
[01:19.80]My pockets hung with empty blues
[01:26.97]Silent heels were standin' on my growin' pains
[01:31.84]My bid was not too bad, two bits was all I had
[01:36.80]And the stable boy just handed me the reins
[01:42.27]Well the gallery went wild, and the auctioneer half smiled
[01:47.26]What we don't sell we shoot or give away
[01:50.73]'Cause the more you pay, the more it's worth
[02:01.00]And where was the boy, who rode on her back
[02:11.65]With his arms holding tight round her neck
[02:22.32]How tightly he clung
[02:27.57]When they both were young
[02:33.81]And fate had not let this poor girl be so disgraced
