Misty River - Black Pony Lyrics
NO TIME FOR CERE-MONIES,ALL I WANTED WAS TO SEE THE WORLDFROM THE BACK OF A LITTLE BLACK PONY,FROM THE BACK OF A LITTLE BLACK PONY.MR. LEE LIVED ACROSS THE STREET, HAD A DAUGHTER MY AGE NAMED JOANIE,IN THE SUMMERTIME WE'D BUILD US A BOAT,WE'D SAIL TO THE ISLAND CONY, WE'D SAIL TO THE ISLAND CONY.BREAK ( fiddle )THERE USED TO BE A MEDICINE MAN TO COME AROUNDEVERYBODY CALLED HIM A PHONY - BUT I THOUGHT HE WAS A KING, WHEN I HEARD HIM RINGA BIG BELL ON THE LITTLE BLACK PONY, HE WAS RIDIN' ON A LITTLE BLACK PONYI SAID "OH MISTER WHAT CAN I GIVE YOUI HAVEN'T GOT MUCH MONEY - BUT I'LL DO ANYTHING, EVEN TRY TO SINGIF YOU'LL LET ME HAVE THAT PONY, I GOTTA HAVE THAT LITTLE BLACK PONY."HE SAID "CHILD" LEARN TO PLAY THE BANJOPLAY THE OLD TUNES HAPPY AND LONELY - AND I'LL BE BACK THIS WAY SOMEDAY& YOU CAN HAVE THAT PONY - YOU CAN HAVE THAT LITTLE BLACK PONY.BREAK (BANJO)WELL, THE OLD MAN HE NEVER CAME BACKBUT I NEVER ONCE THOUGHT HE WAS A PHONY - I JUST GUESS HE MUST HAVE REALIZEDHE COULDN'T DO WITHOUT THAT PONY HE COULDN'T LIVE WITHOUT A LITTLE BLACK PONYMR. LEE MOVED AWAY AND GOT A JOB IN THE CITYTHAT'S THE LAST I HEARD OF JOANIE - BUT I CAN'T FORGET THE CARDBOARD BOATSAND I STILL LOVE LITTLE BLACK PONIES - I STILL LOVE LITTLE BLACK PONIES.
