I wish, instead of going like a dolt
To those horse races,
I'd gone to Cowes Regatta!
We've all our ups and downs, I know,
Both great and small;
But, oh!
Those Epsom Downs are worst of all.
What could have made me join those gambling jockeys?
(Out-of-door Crockies:)
How could I reckon so without my host?
