Don:
No real confusion:
I got the horse right here
The name is Paul Revere
And here's a guy that says if the weather's clear
Can do, can do, this guy says the horse can do
If he says the horse can do, can do, can do. For Paul Revere I'll bite
I hear his foot's all right
Of course it all depends if it rained last night
Likes mud, likes mud, this "X" means the horse likes mud
If that means the horse likes mud, likes mud
Likes mud.

The horse has been recommended on the basis that it likes clear weather (no rain to impede sight & breathing), but likes the going underfoot to be soft ('rained last night, likes mud')
