"NOT green". I always thought green eyes was an interesting touch. But it does seem that this is a somewhat apocryphal horse anyway. And after all the eye color has to change to blue by the end of the song.
I don't think you can ask too awful much verisimilitude from folk songs--or even would-be folk songs (I had no idea Jimmy Driftwood wrote it).
