Testo 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 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.
