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 natcher to hushpukena.
i built a fire by the side of the road.
i worked for nothin in a belzoni saw mill.
i caught a blind out on the b and o.
talullah's friendly.
belzoni ain't so.
a 44'll get you 99.
and 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.
gave him a manzanita cross.
i 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.
and i hope my pony
i hope my pony
i hope my pony knows the way back home.
