Lyrics

Charlie Horse
Oh Charlie Horse
You hit me in the head with your hoof
Oh Charlie Horse
Label says ‘A 100 proof’
I saw that nag a-laughin’ about to bust a gut
Poked his head off the label and jabbed me in the nuts
Oh Charlie Horse
Carry my burden away

Oh Charlie Horse
Worst bet I ever made
Oh Charlie Horse
Worse hunch I ever played
Put something in his oats. He’s running the wrong way.
He jumped the rail and trampled everybody in his way.
Oh Charlie Horse
Carry sweet burden away

Oh Charlie Horse
The hands are moving backwards on the clock
Oh Charlie Horse
The hearse is moving slowly down the block
I saw the Devil waiting. He’s squatting on a rock.
There’s a big black iron boat pulled up to the dock.
Oh Charlie Horse
Carry my burden away

Oh Charlie Horse
What have you done to my leg?
Oh Charlie Horse
Cramped up and useless as a peg
There’s a bad breeze a-blowing from my brain to my dick.
This evil juice I’m drinking bound to make me sick.
Oh Charlie Horse
Carry my casket away

Oh Charlie Horse
The graveyard is drawing nigh
Oh Charlie Horse
Good a place as any to die
A stack of broken empties…a monument to despair
He’s saddled up and ready or he isn’t really there
Oh Charlie Horse
