Oh the sun shines bright over old Kentucky
Over old Kentucky on the derby day
Now let him run
Let that big horse run
Tell Missus Tweedy I saw him on the TV
Now send him out to run in the California sun
Let him run

Let that big horse run
Let him run, let him run, let him run, let him run,
Let that big horse run

There was Swaps, Citation, and Man O' War
But they'd never seen a horse like that before
Let him run
Just let that big horse run
Running's just an itch that he's got to scratch
No offense to Old Dan Patch
Let him run
Let that big horse run

Let him run, let him run, let him run, let him run,
Let that big horse run

Now he's spending his time in the fields with the ladies
In the fields with the ladies now he can't complain
But let him run
Please let that big horse run
One more time let him out on the track
Saddle the wind and climb up on his back
And let him run
Let that big horse run

Let him run, let him run, let him run, let him run,
Just let that big horse run.
