| I hope my | Pony knows the | way | back | home |
| I walked from Natchez to Hushpukena |
| I built a fire by the sideof the road |
| I worked for nothin in a Belzoni saw mill |
| I caught a blind out on the B and O |
| Talullah's friendly Belzoni ain't so |
| A 44'll get you 99 |
| And I hope my Pony, I hope my Pony |
| I hope my Pony knows the way back home |
| I run my race with burnt face Jake |
| I gave him a Manzanita cross |
| I've lived on nothin but dreams and train smoke |
| Somehow my watch and chain got lost. |
| I wish I was home in Evelyn's Kitchen |
| With old Gyp curled around my feet |
| I hope my pony, I hope my pony |
| I hope my pony knows the way back home |
| I hope my pony, I hope my pony |
