Pony

I've seen it all, boys, I've been all over

Been everywhere in the whole wide world

I rode the high line with old Brown Derby

I danced real slow with Ida Jane

I was full of wonder when I left Murfreesboro

Now I'm full of hollow on Maxwell Street

And I hope my pony, I hope my pony

I hope my pony knows the way back home

I walked from Natchez to Herskovina

I built a fire by the side of the road

I worked for nothing in a Belzoni sawmill

I caught a blind out on the B & O

Talullah's friendly, Belzoni ain't so

A .44 will get you 99

And I hope my pony, I hope my pony

I hope my pony knows the way back home

I ran my race with barefaced Jake

Gave him a Manzanita cross

I've lived on nothing but dreams and train smoke

Somehow my watch and chain got lost

I wish I was home in Evelyn's kitchen

With old Gyp curled around my feet

And I hope my pony, I hope my pony

I hope my pony knows the way back home
