Pony Blues

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
