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 hushpakina 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&o Taluah's friendly Belzoni ain't so A forty-four'll get you ninety-nine And i hope my pony I hope my pony I hope my pony knows the way back home I run my race With burned-face jake Gave him a manzanita cross And i lived on nothing 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 Oh i hope my pony I hope my pony I hope my pony knows the way back home
