Pony Blues Lyrics
Pony Blues - Charley Patton
Written by:Charley Patton
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
Hello
Matter now with your line
Come a storm last night
And 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 brownskin woman
Somethin' fit to eat
Brownskin 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
And 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
