Pony Blues Lyrics
Pony Blues - 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 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 shetland baby already trained
Just get in the saddle tighten up on your reins
And a brownskin woman like 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
An' the blues come down baby like showers of rain
I got somethin' to tell you when I get the chance
Somethin' to tell you when I get a chance
I don't wanna marry just wanna be your man
