Capo 1st fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

 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

 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)
