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 natcher To hushpukena 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 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 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 (chorus)
