The Pony Man by Gordon Lightfoot
The Pony Man
G C G
When it's midnight on the meadow and the cats are in the shed
C D D7
And the river tells a story at the window by my bed
G C G
If you listen very closely be as quiet as you can
C D G
In the yard you'll hear him it is the pony man.
G C G
We're always there to greet him when he tumbles into town
C D D7
He leads a string of ponies some are white and some are brown
G C G
And they never seem to kick or bite they only want to play
C D G
And they live on candy apples instead of oats and hay.
G C G
And when we're all assembled he gives a soft command
C D D7
And we climb aboard our ponies as in a row they stand
G C G
Then down the road we gallop and across the fields we fly
C D G
And soon we all go sailing off into the midnight sky.
G C G
And as we gaily rock along beside a ripplin' sea
C D D7
There's Tom 'n Dick 'n Sally and Mary Joe and me
G C G
And the pony man is leading cause he's travelled here before
C D G
And he gives a whoop and a holler at Mr. Moon's front door.
G C G
And as we stop to rest a while where the soda river glides
C D D7
Up to the slip comes a pirate ship to take us for a ride
G C G
And the pony man's the captain and the children are the crew
C D G
And we go in search of treasure and laugh the whole night through.
G C G
And when the hold is filled with gold and the sails begin to strain
C D D7
And the deck's piled high with apple pie we head for port again
G C G
And down the whirling staircase so swift our ponies fly
C D G
And we're safely in our beds again when the sunbeams kiss the sky.
