which way does that old pony run
When I was a very young man  I was a cowboy  The best in the land  But then she settled me down  With a touch of her hand  Now I'm begging you mister  Tell me if you can   Which way does that old pony run  Which way does that old pony run  And how much is that saddle  And a straight shooting gun  Which way does that old pony run   Now a young girl  She don't know when she's lying  But a woman  Great God she knows how its done  So mama before I go  There's just one thing on my mind  Which way does that old pony run   Which way does that old pony run  Which way does that old pony run  And how much is that saddle  And a straight shooting gun  Which way does that old pony run   So this good life you know I must leave  Your new car  And your color TV  But what's riches to you  Just ain't riches to me  And if you're staying out here  Then I'm headed back east   Which way does that old pony run  Which way does that old pony run  And how much is that saddle  And a straight shooting gun  Which way does that old pony run
