Old Kimball was a grey mare,
Old Nelly was a brown,
Old Kimball beat Nellie on the very first go round.
And I see, and I see,
On the fourth day of July.
His bridal, made of silver,
His saddle, made of gold,
And the value of his harness,
It has never yet been told.
And I see, and I see,
And I see on the fourth day of July.
I’ll get up in my buggy,
With my line in my hand,
Good morning, young ladies,
Good morning, young men.
I often have wondered,
What makes women love men,
Then look back and wonder,
What makes men love them.
And I see, and I see,
On the fourth day of July.
