Willie said "he was the mostest horse"
A ??? desert mama's boy
Running in first, neither crowned nor cursed
He tears away like a child takes his toy
Side by side, souls of kind, different world
Hearts of gold, limbs of steel, Man-Of-War
Oh, place your bets boys, get up, get in time
Burn the bolts, you ain't seen nothin' yet
Maybe back at that old Kentucky home
That it was luck, he'll catch him if he can
Fire inside, blaze of glory, space in time
Heart of gold, limbs of steel, Man-Of-War
Oh, Saratoga
Ooo, play your favorite
Odds are more than one hundred
Oh, Willie said
Ooo, Saratoga
Nowhere, nowhere to run
??? gonna take the highest prize
We're hardly funnin' now, little children
He's workin' it now, never, never look back
Fire inside, blaze of glory, space in time
Heart of gold, limbs of steel, Man-Of-War
Side by side, souls of kind, different world
Hearts of gold, limbs of steel, Man-Of-War
A ??? desert mama's boy
Running in first, neither crowned nor cursed
He tears away like a child takes his toy
Side by side, souls of kind, different world
Hearts of gold, limbs of steel, Man-Of-War
Oh, place your bets boys, get up, get in time
Burn the bolts, you ain't seen nothin' yet
Maybe back at that old Kentucky home
That it was luck, he'll catch him if he can
Fire inside, blaze of glory, space in time
Heart of gold, limbs of steel, Man-Of-War
Oh, Saratoga
Ooo, play your favorite
Odds are more than one hundred
Oh, Willie said
Ooo, Saratoga
Nowhere, nowhere to run
??? gonna take the highest prize
We're hardly funnin' now, little children
He's workin' it now, never, never look back
Fire inside, blaze of glory, space in time
Heart of gold, limbs of steel, Man-Of-War
Side by side, souls of kind, different world
Hearts of gold, limbs of steel, Man-Of-War

the song was play for sometime as an instrumental
Willie said "he was the mostest horse"
Mahubah, Fair Play, desert mama's boy
Running in first, neither proud nor cursed
Carries the weight like a child takes to its toy
Side by side, souls of kind, different world
Hearts of gold, limbs of steel, Man-Of-War
Oh, place your bets boys, get out the gate in time
Burn the books, you ain't seen nothin' yet
Maybe back at that old Kentucky home
That it was luck, we'll catch him if we can
Fire inside, blaze of glory, space in time
Heart of gold, limbs of steel, Man-Of-War
Oh, Saratoga
Graveyard of favorites
Odds are more than one hundred
Oh, Willie said
Ooo, Saratoga
Nowhere, nowhere to run
War Admiral take the highest prize
Three hundred thirty-nine little children
Workin' the rail, never, never look back
Fire inside, blaze of glory, space in time
Heart of gold, limbs of steel, Man-Of-War
Side by side, souls of kind, different world
Heart of gold, bones of steel, Man-Of-War
I hear "???? gonna take the highest prize" as "War Admiral takes the highest prize". War Admiral, who was Man O War's son, won the Triple Crown in 1937, d was one of Man O War's most successful offspring.
Ron Jeremy this I know
Cuz Jojo told me so
here's what i do know:
"willie" was man o' war's groom. he did, in fact, say that man o' war was "the mostest hoss dat evah wuz." (and if you forget about secretariat, that's probably true.)
re: "maybe back at that old Kentucky home..." man o'war was, of course, from kentucky. (as am i, hence my fondness for racehorses and bourbon).
re: "saratoga," that was where man o' war lost the only race he ever lost, to a horse named, appropriately, "upset."
in sum, i'm still trying to figure out what j.b. and the boys were gettin' at when they penned this ditty...
