gordon lightfoot - the pony man (1988 version) lyrics
[verse 1]
when it’s midnight on the meadow
and the cats are in the shed
and the river tells a story
at the window by my bed
if you listen very closely
be as quiet as you can
in the yard you’ll hear him
it is the pony man
[verse 2]
we’re always there to greet him
when he tumbles into town
he leads a string of ponies
some are white and some are brown
and they never seem to kick or bite
they only want to play
and they live on candy applеs
instead of oats and hay
[verse 3]
and when we arе assembled
he gives a soft command
and we climb aboard our ponies
as in a row they stand
then down the road we gallop
and across the fields we fly
and soon we all go sailing off
into the midnight sky
[verse 4]
and as we gaily rock along
beside a ripplin’ sea
there’s tom ‘n’ d+ck ‘n’ sally
and mary joe and me
and the pony man is leading
’cause he’s travelled here before
and he gives a whoop and a holler
at mr. moon’s front door
[verse 5]
and then we stop to rest a while
where the soda river glides
up to the slip comes a pirate ship
to take us for a ride
and the pony man’s the captain
and the children are the crew
and we go in search of treasure
and laugh the whole night through
[verse 6]
and when the hold is filled with gold
and the sails begin to strain
and the deck’s piled high with apple pie
we head for port again
then down the whirling starcase
so swift our ponies fly
and we’re safely in our beds again
when the sunbeams kiss the sky
[verse 1]
when it’s midnight on the meadow
and the cats are in the shed
and the river tells a story
at the window by my bed
if you listen very closely
be as quiet as you can
in the yard you’ll hear him
it is the pony man
