Lyrics »

I've got a long grey mare, she won't let me ride I got a long grey mare, she won't let me ride She makes me brush her in the morning And put her to bed every night Long grey mare, why can't we be just like before Long grey mare, why can't we be just like before We used to ride so hard Until we just couldn't ride no more break: Look at me grey mare, don't I feed you everyday Look at me grey mare, don't I feed you everyday But when I dig you with my spurs You turn around the other way
