A song about the thoroughbred racehorse Man O' War. The appropriately named Upset, ridden by Willie Knapp, defeated Man o' War to win the Sanford Memorial in Saratoga, N.Y. It was the only defeat in 21 races for Man o' War, who quickly became a legend and was known as the greatest race horse of his...
Willie said "he was the mostest horse"
Mahubah, Fair Play, desert mama's boy
Running in first, neither proud nor cursed
Carries the weight like a child takes to its toy
Side by side, souls of kind, different world
Hearts of gold, limbs of steel, Man-Of-War
Oh, place your bets boys, get out the gate in time
Burn the books, you ain't seen nothin' yet
Maybe back at that old Kentucky home
That it was luck, we'll catch him if we can
Fire inside, blaze of glory, space in time
Heart of gold, limbs of steel, Man-Of-War
Oh, Saratoga
Graveyard of favorites
Odds are more than one hundred
Oh, Willie said
Ooo, Saratoga
Nowhere, nowhere to run
War Admiral take the highest prize
Three hundred thirty-nine little children
Workin' the rail, never, never look back
Fire inside, blaze of glory, space in time
Heart of gold, limbs of steel, Man-Of-War
Side by side, souls of kind, different world
Heart of gold, bones of steel, Man-Of-War
