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 blind Darby

I danced real slow with Ida Jane

I was full of wonder when I left Murfreesboro

Now I am 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 Hushpukena

I built a fire by the side of the road

I worked for nothin' 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

I hope my pony

I hope my pony

I hope my pony

Knows the way back home

I run my race with burnt-face Jake

I gave him a Manzanita cross

I've lived on nothin' 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

I hope my pony

I hope my pony

I hope my pony

Knows the way back home

I hope my pony

I hope my pony

I hope my pony

Knows the way back home
