Goin' to Dallas - Lighnin' Hopkins

I’m goin' to Dallas, see my pony run

Goin' to Dallas, just to see my pony run

I’m goin' to Dallas, just to see my pony run

If I win any money, gonna bring my baby some

She’s a cold black mare, put on a racetrack anywhere

She’s a cold black mare, put on a racetrack anywhere

If I get to the place and it’s crowded

I’ll say have you got any room to spare?

I’m goin' to Dallas, see my pony run

Goin' to Dallas, see my pony run

I’m goin' to Dallas, just to see my pony run

She wins every race and I can’t see how it’s done

She got a long life to live, cold black way remains

Long life to live, cold black way remains

When that horse wins that race

She don’t look like she’s ashamed

I’m goin' to Dallas, see her run one more time

Goin' to Dallas, see her run one more time

If she wins this race for Lightnin'

I’m gonna tell her she can retire
