Pony Songtext
von Sara Watkins

I′ve seen it all, boys, I've been all over
Been everywhere in this whole wide world
I rode the high line with old blind Darby
And 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 Hushpukena
Built a fire on the side of the road
And I worked for nothing in Belzoni's sawmill
Caught a blind out on the P&R road


Tallulah's friendly, but Belzoni ain′t so
And 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 run my race with Burnface Jake
Gave him a man′s knee to cross
And I 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

Oh, I hope my pony, I hope my pony
I hope my pony knows the way back home
