I Can't Escape From You - Arthur Crudup, Dexter Gordon Quartet

I got a coal‑black mare

But Lord how that horse can run

Yes she win every race

Man you don’t see how it’s done

I give her three gold teeth

I put earrings in her ears

There ain’t no use a‑worrying

I do swear the stuff is here

I cut her mane

I put streamline shoes on her feet

Ain’t a horse in the country

I do swear my horse can’t beat

Say she foxtrot and pace

And I rode that horse today

Yeah when morning comes

She had never broke her gait

She going to the race track at midnight

And I rode her all night long

Yeah when morning come

She had never changed her weight

She’s a coal‑black mare

She’s got long black curly mane

Well I’ll follow that horse

Man in any land
