Song title: Misty River - Black Pony

Edit By: 216.73.217.39

NO TIME FOR CERE-MONIES,
ALL I WANTED WAS TO SEE THE WORLD
FROM THE BACK OF A LITTLE BLACK PONY,
FROM THE BACK OF A LITTLE BLACK PONY.

MR. LEE LIVED ACROSS THE STREET,  HAD A DAUGHTER MY AGE NAMED JOANIE,
IN THE SUMMERTIME WE'D BUILD US A BOAT,
WE'D SAIL TO THE ISLAND CONY, WE'D SAIL TO THE ISLAND CONY.

BREAK ( fiddle )

THERE USED TO BE A MEDICINE MAN TO COME AROUND
EVERYBODY CALLED HIM  A PHONY - BUT I THOUGHT HE WAS A KING, WHEN I HEARD HIM RING
A BIG BELL ON THE LITTLE BLACK PONY,  HE WAS RIDIN' ON A  LITTLE BLACK PONY

I SAID "OH MISTER WHAT CAN I GIVE YOU
I HAVEN'T GOT MUCH MONEY -  BUT I'LL DO ANYTHING, EVEN TRY TO SING
IF YOU'LL LET ME  HAVE THAT PONY, I GOTTA HAVE THAT LITTLE BLACK PONY."

HE SAID "CHILD" LEARN TO PLAY THE BANJO
PLAY THE OLD TUNES HAPPY AND LONELY - AND I'LL BE BACK THIS WAY SOMEDAY
& YOU CAN HAVE THAT PONY - YOU CAN HAVE THAT LITTLE BLACK PONY.

BREAK (BANJO)

WELL, THE OLD MAN HE NEVER CAME BACK
BUT I NEVER ONCE THOUGHT HE WAS A PHONY -  I JUST GUESS HE MUST HAVE REALIZED
HE COULDN'T DO WITHOUT THAT PONY  HE COULDN'T LIVE WITHOUT A LITTLE BLACK PONY

MR. LEE MOVED AWAY AND GOT A JOB IN THE CITY
THAT'S THE LAST I HEARD OF JOANIE  - BUT I CAN'T FORGET THE CARDBOARD BOATS
AND I STILL LOVE LITTLE BLACK PONIES -  I STILL LOVE LITTLE BLACK PONIES.
