Horse Named Regret - Mojo Juju

It sounded like a baby’s rattle shaking from a pram

Lister ate a knuckle sandwich and Tiny broke his hand

And the Worm was on the corner playing bookie on a fight

And I was trying on my luck, the same as any other night

I put everything I had down on a horse they called Regret

I won a fortune and I lost it all at dice

And my money comes and goes

And I keep following my hunch

You wanna bet me I can’t make this match burn twice?

I got a hot tip

It’s a sure thing

I’m gonna hold out for the big win

She’s a knockout, it’s the real deal

I’m gonna step up, take a big swing

I’m gonna grind my heels until they hit the felt

And I know I’m gonna buckle like a Texan’s belt

And Pachuca’s in the street getting fancy with the knife

And that girl I like’s adoring me

The same as any other night

I put everything I had down on a horse they called Regret

I won a fortune and I lost it all at dice

And my baby comes and goes

And I keep following my hunch

And I will bet you she ain’t coming home tonight

I got a hot tip

It’s a sure thing

I’m gonna hold out for the big win

She’s a knockout, it’s the real deal

I’m gonna step up, take a big swing

I’m gonna grind my heels until they hit the felt

And I know I’m gonna buckle like a Texan’s belt

And Pachuca’s in the street getting fancy with the knife

And that girl I like’s adoring me

The same as any other night

I put everything I had down on a horse they called Regret

I won a fortune and I lost it all at dice

And my baby comes and goes

And I keep following my hunch

And I will bet you she ain’t coming home tonight

I got a hot tip

It’s a sure thing

I’m gonna hold out for the big win

She’s a knockout, it’s the real deal

I’m gonna step up, take a big swing

I put everything I had down on a horse they called Regret

I won a fortune and I lost it all at dice

And my baby comes and goes

And I keep following my hunch

And I will bet you she ain’t coming home tonight
