Run Dusty run don't hold back the hammer
I got a little lady on the other side
Run Dusty run don't hold back in anger
I want you baby to be my bride

If you beat that filly and that gelding out of Fairmont
You'll get more hay and new silks to wear
I'm gonna win that purse our money's gonna double
And how I get it, I just don't care

Run Dusty run don't hold back the hammer
I got a little lady on the other side
Run Dusty run don't hold back in anger
I want you baby to be my bride

It's our big chance Sunday, it's our last chance honey
To make a scatch, yeah, we both gotta run
I'm gonna bet your horse with someon else's money
And how I get it ain't gonna be fun

Run Dusty run don't hold back the hammer
I got a little lady on the other side
Run Dusty run don't hold back in anger
I want you baby to be my bride

Well gimme that money and gimme that bottle
I got my car and I paid the rent
We're gonna get married justa south of the border
The blacktop's burning, away we went
