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
