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 (Chorus)
