lyrics

My horse is strong, he's a trooper for sure
But for advanced old age, there ain't no cure
Some folks would shoot him
I love him like a brother, don't you see?

Though his senses are weakened
and his muscles decayed,
he's got a funky spirit
that just won't fade

He told me "Ringo, get yourself a plowhorse,
one to take my place in the field"
He said "Ringo, get yourself a plowhorse
and make it a good harvest this year

So I took him shopping, and I wanted his opinion
With our budget placed unrealistically at a million
But every single time that I made a selection
He'd say he "ain't worthy" to even look in your direction

But when I found one that tickled my fancy
He'd just say "ain't doin' no work, just looks too dance-y"

But Ringo, get yourself a plowhorse
Cuz' I won't always be in the field
Yeah Ringo, get yourself a plowhorse
And take in a good harvest this year

I said "that's what I'm doin!"

He told me "Ringo, find yourself a plowhorse"
"One to take my place in the field?
"Ringo, I wanna be your plowhorse! I'll do your dirty work for free!"
"Ringo, let me be your plowhorse! Why don't you ever talk to me?"
