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 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 I worked for nothin' in a Belzoni sawmill I caught a blind out on the B&O Talullah's friendly, Belzoni ain't so A .44 will 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 I gave him a Manzanita cross 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
