The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

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
