[C#]
[F#]
[C#]
I [A#m] see it all, boys, [F#]
[C#] I've been all over, been [F#] everywhere in the whole wide [G#] world.
I rode the High [F#] Line [C#] with old blind Darby, I [F#] danced real slow with
[G#] [A#] Addertyn.
[G#]
I was full of [C#] wonder, I left my freeze book,
[C#] now I'm [F#] full of hollow on Maxwell's [G#] keys.
I hope my [F#] pony, I [C#] hope my pony, [A#m]
I hope [C#] my pony knows the [G#] way back [C#] home.
I walked from [F#]
Natchez [C#] to Hushbuckina, [A#m] I built a [F#] fire by the side [G#] of the road.
And I worked [F#] for nothing in a [C#] Bell's only sawmill, and I caught a [F#] blind out on the B [G#]&O.
[A#] [G#]
[C#] Tallulah's friendly, Bell's only ain't so, a 44 will get you [G#] 99.
I hope my pony, I hope [C#] my pony, [A#m]
I hope [C#] my pony knows [G#] the [Cm] way back [C#] home.

[F#] [C#] [G#] I [C#]
rode [F#] my race with burnt [C#]-faced Jake, gave [F#] him a man's knee [G#]
to crawl.
[A#] [G#]
I've lived [F#] on nothing but [D#] dreams [C#] and trains of smoke, somehow [F#] my watch and [D#] chain [G#] got lost.
[A#] [G#] I wish I was [C#] home in Evelyn's kitchen with [A#m] old Jip [G#] curled around my [A#] feet.
[G#] I [C#] hope my pony, I hope my pony, [A#m]
I hope [C#] my pony knows the [G#] way [C#] back home.
I hope my [F#] pony, I [C#] hope my pony, [A#m]
[C#] I hope my pony knows the [G#] way back [C#]
home.
