Black Pony Songtext
von Misty River

When i was a little girl, i had no time,
No time for cere-monies,
All i wanted was to see the world
From the back of a little black pony,
From the back of a little black pony.

Mr. lee lived across the street, had a daughter my age named joanie,
In the summertime we′d build us a boat,
We'd sail to the island cony, we′d sail to the island cony.

Break (fiddle)

There used to be a medicine man to come around
Everybody called him a phony - but i thought he was a king, when i heard him ring
A big bell on the little black pony, he was ridin' on a little black pony


I said "oh mister what can i give you
I haven't got much money - but i′ll do anything, even try to sing
If you′ll let me have that pony, i gotta have that little black pony."

He said "child" learn to play the banjo
Play the old tunes happy and lonely - and i'll be back this way someday
& You can have that pony - you can have that little black pony.

Break (banjo)

Well, the old man he never came back
But i never once thought he was a phony - i just guess he must have realized
He couldn′t do without that pony he couldn't live without a little black pony

Mr. lee moved away and got a job in the city
That′s the last i heard of joanie - but i can't forget the cardboard boats
And i still love little black ponies - i still love little black ponies.
