Racehorse Haynes 
By Tom Russell

(Chorus)
Am                   Am7       Am     F G
Somebody better call Racehorse Haynes
Somebody better call Racehorse Haynes

(Verse)
Am                             Am7      Am 
I didn?t kill nobody,  I never seen her before
 Am                  Am7     Am 
A man of my means, A Chinese whore

 Am                                 Am7           Am
I got a lawyer in Houston, with the juice and the brains
Am                    Am7       Am 
Let the big horse run Racehorse Haynes

(Chorus)
Somebody better call Racehorse Haynes
Somebody better call Racehorse Haynes

(Verse)
He's a thoroughbred lawyer, he ain't no hack
He's a Man 'O War on any of your fairground tracks
He can run on the grass,  on the mud when it rains
'Ya put your money on Racehorse Haynes

(Chorus)
Somebody better call Racehorse Haynes
Somebody better call Racehorse Haynes

(Bridge)
F                                C
Down here in Texas you see money still talks
    E                        Am
You murder your wife, you're still gonna walk
     F                          C
Your blacks and Chicanos, whoa ain't it a shame
       E                             E7
You're goin' up to Huntsville if you can't afford him

(Chorus)
Somebody better call Racehorse Haynes
Somebody better call Racehorse Haynes

(Verse)
Show me the phone, lend the  dime
I ain't rollin over, ain't doin' no time
Ain't coppin' no plea, I'm hip to your game
I ain't talkin' to no one 'cept Racehorse Haynes

(Chorus)
Somebody better call Racehorse Haynes
Somebody better call Racehorse Haynes
