Pony Blues

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 new 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 gets a chance

Somethin' to tell you when I get a chance

I don't wanna marry just wanna be your man
