The Pony Man Gordon Lightfoot
THE PONY MAN
When it's mid[G]night on the meadow and the c[C]ats are in the sh[G]ed
And the river tells a st[C]ory at the win[D]dow by my b[D7]ed
If you li[G]sten very closely be as qu[C]iet as you c[G]an
In the yard you'll h[C]ear him it [D]is the pony m[G]an.
We're al[G]ways there to greet him when he tum[C]bles into t[G]own
He leads a string of po[C]nies some are wh[D]ite and some are br[D7]own
And they ne[G]ver seem to kick or bite they on[C]ly want to p[G]lay
And they live on candy ap[C]ples ins[D]tead of oats and h[G]ay.
And wh[G]en we're all assembled he gi[C]ves a soft com[G]mand
And we climb aboard our pon[C]ies as [D]in a row they st[D7]and
Then do[G]wn the road we gallop and acr[C]oss the fields we f[G]ly
And soon we all go sai[C]ling off in[D]to the midnight s[G]ky.
And [G]as we gaily rock along be[C]side a ripplin' s[G]ea
There's Tom 'n Dick 'n Sa[C]lly and M[D]ary Joe and [D7]me
And the po[G]ny man is leading cause he's trav[C]elled here be[G]fore
And he gives a whoop and a hol[C]ler at [D]Mr. Moon's front do[G]or.
And [G]as we stop to rest a while where the so[C]da river gli[G]des
Up to the slip comes a pir[C]ate ship to t[D]ake us for a r[D7]ide
And the p[G]ony man's the captain and the chi[C]ldren are the c[G]rew
And we go in search of tre[C]asure and la[D]ugh the whole night th[G]rough.
And w[G]hen the hold is filled with gold and the sa[C]ils begin to st[G]rain
And the deck's piled high with ap[C]ple pie we h[D]ead for port ag[D7]ain
And d[G]own the whirling staircase so sw[C]ift our ponies f[G]ly
And we're safely in our b[C]eds again w[D]hen the sunbeams kiss the s[G]ky.
