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 And 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 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 And I've 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 I hope my Pony, I hope my Pony I hope my Pony knows the way back home I hope my Pony, I hope my Pony I hope my Pony knows the way back home
