[NICELY]
I got the horse right here
The name is Paul Revere
And here's a guy that says if the weather's clear
Can do, can do
This guy says the horse can do
If he says the horse can do
Can do, can do
[NICELY & BENNY]
Can do (I'm pickin' Valentine )
Can do ('Cause on the mornin' line)
This guy says (The guy has got him)
The horse can do (Figured at five to nine)
[NICELY, BENNY & RUSTY CHARLIE]
If he says the horse (Has chance) (But look at Epitaph)
Can do (Has chance) (He wins it by a half)
Can do (This guy says the horse) (Accordin' to this here)
Can do (Has chance) (In the Telegraph)
For Paul Revere I'll bite (If he says the horse) (Big Threat)
I hear his foot's alright (Has chance) (Big Threat)
Of course it all depends (Has chance) (This guy calls the horse)
If it rained last night (Has chance) (Big Threat)
Likes mud (I know it's Valentine) (If he calls the horse)
Likes mud ('Cause on the mornin' line) (Big Threat)
This "X" means the (The guy has got him) (Big Threat)
Horse likes mud (Figured at five to nine) (Big Threat)
If that means the (Needs race) (But just a minute, boys)
Horse likes mud (Needs race) (I got some feed box noise)
Likes mud (This guy says the horse) (It says the great-grandfather)
Likes mud (Needs race) (Was Equipoise)
I tell you Paul Revere (If he says the horse) (Shows class)
Now this is no bum steer (Needs race) (Show class)
It's from a handicapper (Needs race) (This guy says the horse)
That's real sincere (Needs race) (Shows class)
Can do (I know it's Valentine) (If he says the horse)
Can do (The morning works look fine) (Shows class)
This guy says the (You know the jockey's) (Shows class)
Horse can do (Brother's a friend of mine) (Shows class)
If he says the horse (Has chance) (So make it Epitaph)
Can do (Has chance) (He wins it by a half)
Can do (This guy says the horse) (Accordin' to this here)
Can do (Has chance) (In the Telegraph)

[Part III: Follow the Fold]
[SARAH & MISSION BAND]
Follow the fold and stray no more
Stray no more, stray no more
Put down the bottle and we'll say no more
Follow, follow
[SARAH & MISSION BAND]
Before you take another swallow (The fold)
[SARAH & MISSION BAND]
Follow the fold and stray no more
Stray no more, stray no more
Tear up your poker deck and play no more
Follow, follow the fold
To the meadow where the sun shines
Out of the darkness
[SARAH & MISSION BAND]
And the sin and shame in which you wallow (And the cold)
[SARAH & MISSION BAND]
Follow the fold and stray no more
Stray no more, stray no more
If you're a sinner and you pray no more
Follow, follow the fold
