Pony Blues

Hey hitch up my pony, saddle up my black mare
Hitch up my pony, saddle up my black mare
I'm gonna find a rider, baby in the world somewhere.

"Hello central, the matter with your line?"
"Hello central, matter lord with your line?"
Come a storm last night an' tore the wire down.

Got a brand new shetland, man already trained
A brand new shetland, baby already trained
Better get in the saddle, tighten up your rein.

An' a brownskin woman like, somethin' fit to eat
Brownskin woman like, somethin' fit to eat
But a jet black woman, don't put your hands on me.

Took my baby, to meet the mornin' train
Took my baby, meet that mornin' train
An' the blues come down, baby like showers of rain.

I've got somethin' to tell you when I gets the chance
Somethin' to tell you, when I get a chance
I don't wanna marry, just wanna be your man.
