Charley Patton - Pony Blues lyrics
[Charley Patton - Pony Blues lyrics]
Baby, saddle my pony, saddle up my black mare
I won't find a rider, baby
In the world nowhere
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 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
