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

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

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've lived on nothin' but dreams and train smoke
Somehow my watch and chain got lost
Talullah's friendly belzoni ain't so
A fourty four will get you ninety nine

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
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
