Pony Blues (Patton Charley)

Baby, saddle my pony, saddle up my black mare Baby, saddle my pony, saddle up my black mare I'm gonna find a rider, baby, in the world somewhere Hello central, the matter with your line? Hello central, matter, Lord, with your line? Come a storm last night an' tore the wire down Got a brand new Shetland, man, already trained Brand new Shetland, baby, already trained Just get in the saddle, tighten up on your reins And a brown-skin woman like somethin' fit to eat Brown-skin woman like somethin' fit to eat But a jet black woman, don't put your hands on me Took my baby to meet the mornin' train Took baby meet that mornin' train An' the blues come down, baby, like showers of rain I got somethin' to tell you when I gets a chance Somethin' to tell you when I get a chance I don't wanna marry, just wanna be your man
