7.Run Molly, Run

作詞:Bill Monroe

Run Molly, run
(Oh, Molly)
Run Molly, run
Long John's gonna beat you
Beneath the shinin' sun

Long John was the youngest horse
And Molly was the old
Molly was an old gray mare
And he was a stallion bold
Oh, Lordy, he was a stallion bold

Long John said to Molly
'You're runnin' your last race
'Cause when I turn my head around
I'm gonna see your face, old gal
I'm gonna see your face'

Molly said to Long John
'Don't take me for a fool
If you didn't cut your ears and tail
I'd think you were a mule
(Yeah)
I'd think you were a mule'

Long John, he got mad
Oh, Lord, and shook his wooly mane
'Last time that I run, old girl
I beat the Memphis train
I beat the Memphis train'

Run Molly, run
(Oh, Molly)
Run Molly, run
Long John's gonna beat you
Beneath the shinin' sun

See them waitin' on the track
The man, he hollered, 'Go'
Long John runnin' fast
Lord, Molly runnin' slow
Molly runnin' slow

Long John said to Molly
'Take a last look at the sky
'Cause baby when I pass you by
My dust's gonna blind your eye
Oh, Lord, my dust's gonna blind your eye'

Run, Molly, run
Look out for the turn
Oh, Lordy, Lordy, here she comes

Long John beatin' Molly
Wait, what do I see?
Molly passin' Long John
Molly runnin' free
Oh, Lordy, Molly runnin' free

Run Molly, run
(Oh Molly)
Run Molly, run
Put old Long John out to stud
And let old Molly run
