Both Ends Burning by Richard Thompson
Both Ends Burning lyrics
Well I bought me a horse with a broken leg
They said that she never could win
Only fit for a bullet, they said
She�ll be coming out of a tin
So I took her home, I fed her on hay
I tied her up with a sling
Well, she just kept howling all of the night
And that�s the reason I sing
Well, Both Ends Burning, Both Ends Burning
That�s how she got her name
Both Ends Burning, Both Ends Burning
I never will sleep again
Ah, Both Ends Burning, Both Ends Burning
That�s how she got her name
Both Ends Burning, Both Ends Burning
I never will sleep again
I took her to the race-track one fine day
They couldn�t believe their eyes
They said, if that nag even stays on her feet
We�re going to give you first prize
Ah, Both Ends Burning, Both Ends Burning
That�s how she got her name
Both Ends Burning, Both Ends Burning
I never will sleep again
O Both Ends Burning, Both Ends Burning
That�s how she got her name
Both Ends Burning, Both Ends Burning
I never will sleep again
She ran so fast that it took my breath
You never did see such a win
But when she crossed that finishing line
I was just too tired to grin
Ah, Both Ends Burning, Both Ends Burning
That�s how she got her name
Both Ends Burning, Both Ends Burning
I never will sleep again
O Both Ends Burning, Both Ends Burning
That�s how she got her name
Both Ends Burning, Both Ends Burning
I never will sleep again
