I got me a pony Lord : and she already trained
When I get in my bed mama : baby tighten up on your reins
Well I got something to tell you : mama when I get a chance
Well I don't want to marry : baby just want to be your man
I got a brownskin woman : she don't pay me no mind
And I know you going to miss me : baby when I leave this town
And I know my woman : she going to scream and cry
When she gets that letter : baby Lord I pass my
I got me a grey pony : down in my pasture somewhere
I'm going to find my woman : baby in this world somewhere
Fare you well : may be tomorrow or today
I want you to know : babe I didn't come here to stay
I ain't got nobody : to talk baby‑talk to me
Said my mama's getting old : Lord her hair done got grey
Lord my mama she got older : now her hair done got grey
Well well why break her heart : you know ooo Lord treat her this way
