There's fifty dollars on this pony
Chase him down these tracks
Well won't nobody take my business
I'll teach you how to come back [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/h/hem/betting_on_trains.html ]
I saw one hundred miles of steel over wood and let her go
I filled my pockets up with coal black with mud and let her go
I'll throw my hat off when I beat you
Find it when you're gone
There's straw and cotton around the station
I'll make myself a new one
I held a silver dollar tight inside my fist and let you go
I've counted all the things I've lost that point to this and let you go
