A Horse Named Regret

By Mojo Juju

(released July 2011)

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

When Lester ate a knuckle sandwich and Tiny broke his hand

And the Worm was on the corner playin’ bookie on the fight

And I was tryin’ 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, then I lost it all at dice

And my money comes and goes, 

But 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 knock out, it’s the real deal

I’m gonna step up, take a big swing

I’m gonna grind my heels in till they hit the felt

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

And Pachuco’s in the street gettin’ fancy with a knife

And that girl I like’s ignoring me the same as any other night

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

I won a fortune, then I lost it all at dice

And my baby comes and goes and I keep following my hunch

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 knock out, it’s the real deal

I’m gonna step up, take a big swing
