Lyrics

I've seen it all, boys --
I've been all over
Been everywhere in the whole wide world
I rode the high line with ol' 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 nachez to hushpukena --
I built a fire by the side of the road
I worked for nothing 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 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
