The Pony Man - Gordon Lightfoot[00:00:00]
When it's midnight on the meadow[00:00:05]
And the cats are in the shed[00:00:08]
And the river tells a story[00:00:11]
At the window by my bed[00:00:13]
If you listen very closely[00:00:18]
Be as quiet as you can[00:00:20]
In the yard you'll hear him[00:00:25]
It is the pony man[00:00:27]
We're always there to greet him[00:00:31]
When he tumbles into town[00:00:33]
He leads a string of ponies[00:00:37]
Some are white and some are brown[00:00:39]
And they never seem to kick or bite[00:00:44]
They only want to play[00:00:46]
And they live on candy apples[00:00:50]
Instead of oats and hay[00:00:53]
And when we're all assembled[00:00:57]
He gives a soft command[00:00:59]
And we climb aboard our ponies[00:01:03]
As in a row the stand[00:01:05]
Then down the road we gallop[00:01:09]
And across the fields we fly[00:01:11]
And soon we all go sailing off[00:01:16]
Into the midnight sky[00:01:18]
And as we gaily rock along[00:01:35]
Beside a ripplin' sea[00:01:38]
There's Tom 'n Dick 'n Sally[00:01:42]
And Mary Joe and me[00:01:44]
And the pony man is leading[00:01:48]
Cause he's travelled here before[00:01:50]
And he gives a whoop and a holler[00:01:55]
At Mr Moon's front door[00:01:57]
And then we stop to rest a while[00:02:01]
Where the soda river glides[00:02:03]
Up to the slip comes a pirate ship[00:02:07]
To take us for a ride[00:02:10]
And the pony man's the captain[00:02:14]
And the children are the crew[00:02:16]
And we go in search of treasure[00:02:20]
And laugh the whole night through[00:02:22]
And when the hold is filled with gold[00:02:27]
And the sails begin to strain[00:02:29]
And the deck's piled high with apple pie[00:02:33]
We head for port again[00:02:35]
Then down the whirling starcase[00:02:39]
So swift our ponies fly[00:02:41]
And we're safely in our beds again[00:02:46]
When the sunbeams kiss the sky[00:02:48]
When it's midnight on the meadow[00:03:05]
And the cats are in the shed[00:03:07]
And the river tells a story[00:03:11]
At the window by my bed[00:03:14]
If you listen very closely[00:03:18]
Be as quiet as you can[00:03:20]
In the yard you'll hear him[00:03:25]
It is the pony man[00:03:27]
