The Pony Man (Album Version) - Gordon Lightfoot[00:00:01]
When it's midnight on the meadow[00:00:06]
And the cats are in the shed[00:00:09]
And the river tells a story[00:00:13]
At the window by my bed[00:00:15]
If you listen very closely[00:00:19]
Be as quiet as you can[00:00:21]
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[00:00:43]
They only want to play[00:00:45]
And they live on candy apples[00:00:49]
Instead of oats and hay[00:00:51]
And when we're all assembled[00:00:55]
He gives a soft command[00:00:57]
And we climb aboard our ponies[00:01:01]
As in a row the stand[00:01:03]
Then down the road we gallop[00:01:07]
And across the fields we fly[00:01:09]
And soon we all go sailing off[00:01:13]
Into the midnight sky[00:01:15]
And as we gaily rock along[00:01:22]
Beside a ripplin' sea[00:01:24]
There's Tom 'n Dick 'n Sally[00:01:28]
And Mary Joe and me[00:01:30]
And the pony man is leading[00:01:34]
Cause he's travelled here before[00:01:36]
And he gives a whoop and a holler[00:01:40]
At Mr Moon's front door[00:01:42]
And then we stop to rest a while[00:01:58]
Where the soda river glides[00:02:00]
Up to the slip comes a pirate ship[00:02:04]
To take us for a ride[00:02:06]
And the pony man's the captain[00:02:10]
And the children are the crew[00:02:12]
And we go in search of treasure[00:02:16]
And laugh the whole night through[00:02:18]
And when the hold is filled with gold[00:02:22]
And the sails begin to strain[00:02:24]
And the deck's piled high with apple pie[00:02:28]
We head for port again[00:02:30]
Then down the whirling starcase[00:02:34]
So swift our ponies fly[00:02:36]
And we're safely in our beds again[00:02:40]
When the sunbeams kiss the sky[00:02:42]
When it's midnight on the meadow[00:02:58]
And the cats are in the shed[00:03:00]
And the river tells a story[00:03:04]
At the window by my bed[00:03:06]
If you listen very closely[00:03:10]
Be as quiet as you can[00:03:13]
In the yard you'll hear him[00:03:17]
It is the pony man[00:03:19]
