Lyrics:

Why don`t you catch my pony, now saddle up my black mare?
...my pony, saddle up, up my black mare?
You know, I`m gonna find my baby, well, in the world somewhere
You know, he`s a travelin` horse, an` he`s too black bad
He`s a travelin` pony, I declare, he`s too black bad
You know, he got a gait, now, no Shetlan` ain`t never had

You know, I taken him by the rein an` I led him around and `round
I say, I taken him by the reins an` I, I led him, him `round and `round
You know, he ain`t the best in the world, but he`s the best ever been in this town

You know, he`s a travelin` horse and he don`t deny his name

He`s a travelin` pony and he don`t deny his name
You know, the way he can travel is a low-down, old, dirty shame

Why don`t you come up here, pony, now come on, please let`s us go
I said, 'Come up, get up now, please pony, now let`s us go'
Let`s we saddle on down on the Gulf of, of Mexico

You know, the horse that I`m ridin`, he can fox-trot, he can lope and pace
I say, the pony I`m ridin`, he can fox-trot, he can lope and pace
You know, a horse with them many gaits, you know, I`m bound to win the race

He`s a travelin` horse an` he don`t deny his name
He`s a travelin` pony, he don`t deny his name
The way he can travel is a low-down, old, dirty shame
