The Angels Took My Racehorse Away Lyrics - Richard Thompson

Well, the angels came to see me today 

Said "We've taken your racehorse away" 

And I believe it was that bookmaker from . . . 

I believe that he put one in a pail 

Oh, the finest in the field only measure to our shoulders 

They only ever see our heels 

And I believe every sporting man will cry 

I believe they'll see everything come passing by 

She won the Lanark Silver Bell 

And she stole every heart away 

She stood her stand at sixteen hands 

And I'll ride her easy 

But they've taken, taken my racehorse away 

There's a racecourse in the sky 

And that's where all the racing horses must go by and by 

And I believe every steward, lord and groom 

I believe that they're calling her home 

She would look me in the eye 

And that was all she had to say 

She stood her stand at sixteen hands 

And I'll ride her easy 

But they've taken, taken my racehorse away 

They've taken my racehorse away 

They've taken my racehorse away 

They've taken my racehorse away 

They've taken my racehorse away 

Taken my racehorse away
