I gave the 'orse 'is evenin' feed	A
And bedded of 'im down	B
And went to 'ear the sing song	C
In the bar room of the Crown	B
And one young feller spoke a piece	D
As told a kind of tale	E
About an Arab man wot 'ad	A
A certain 'orse for sale	E
	-
I 'ave no grudge against the man mdash	F
I never 'eard 'is name	G
But if he was my closest pal	H
I'd say the very same	G
For wot you do in other things	I
Is neither 'ere nor there	J
But w'en it comes to 'orses	I
You must keep upon the square	J
	-
Now I'm tellin' you the story	K
Just as it was told last night	A
And if I wrong this Arab man	L
Then 'e can set me right	A
But s'posin' all these fac's are fac's	I
Then I make bold to say	I
That I think it was not sportsmanlike	C
To act in sich a way	I
	-
For as I understand the thing	C
'E went to sell this steed mdash	F
Which is a name they give a 'orse	I
Of some outlandish breed mdash	F
And soon 'e found a customer	M
A proper sportin' gent	A
Who planked 'is money down at once	I
Without no argument	A
	-
Now when the deal was finished	A
And the money paid you'd think	C
This Arab would 'ave asked the gent	A
At once to name 'is drink	C
Or at least 'ave thanked 'im kindly	K
An' wished 'im a good day	I
And own as 'e'd been treated	A
In a very 'andsome way	I
	-
But instead o' this 'e started	A
A talkin' to the steed	A
And speakin' of its braided mane	N
An' of its winged speed	A
And other sich expressions	I
With which I can't agree	K
For a 'orse with wings an' braids an' things	I
Is not the 'orse for me	K
	-
The moment that 'e 'ad the cash mdash	F
Or wot 'e called the gold	A
'E turned as nasty as could be	K
Says 'e You're sold You're sold	A
Them was 'is words it's not for me	K
To settle wot he meant	A
It may 'ave been the 'orse was sold	A
It may 'ave been the gent	A
	-
I've not a word to say agin	O
His fondness for 'is 'orse	I
But why should 'e insinivate	A
The gent would treat 'im worse	I
An' why should 'e go talkin'	P
In that aggravatin' way	I
As if the gent would gallop 'im	K
And wallop 'im all day	I
	-
It may 'ave been an' 'arness 'orse	I
It may 'ave been an 'ack	C
But a bargain is a bargain	Q
An' there ain't no goin' back	C
For when you've picked the money up	R
That finishes the deal	S
And after that your mouth is shut	A
Wotever you may feel	S
	-
Supposin' this 'ere Arab man	L
'Ad wanted to be free	K
'E could 'ave done it businesslike	C
The same as you or me	K
A fiver might 'ave squared the gent	A
An' then 'e could 'ave claimed	A
As 'e'd cleared 'imself quite 'andsome	K
And no call to be ashamed	A
	-
But instead 'o that this Arab man	L
Went on from bad to worse	I
An' took an' chucked the money	K
At the cove wot bought the 'orse	I
'E'd 'ave learned 'im better manners	I
If 'e'd waited there a bit	A
But 'e scooted on 'is bloomin' steed	A
As 'ard as 'e could split	A
	-
Per'aps 'e sold 'im after	M
Or per'aps 'e 'ires 'im out	A
But I'd like to warm that Arab man	L
Wen next 'e comes about	A
For wot 'e does in other things	I
Is neither 'ere nor there	J
But w'en it comes to 'orses	I
We must keep 'im on the square	J
