Well saddle my pony, saddle up my black mare
Baby, saddle my pony, saddle up my black mare
I'm gonna find a rider, baby, in the world somewhere
=============================
"Hello central, the matter with your line?"
"Hello central, matter, Lord, with your line?"
"Come a storm last night an' tore the wire down"
=============================
Got a brand new Shetland, man, already trained
Brand new Shetland, baby, already trained
Just get in the saddle, tighten up on your reins
=============================
An' a brownskin woman like somethin' fit to eat
Brownskin woman like somethin' fit to eat
But a jet black woman, don't put your hands on me
=============================
Took my baby, to meet the mornin' train
Took baby, meet that mornin' train
And the blues come down, baby, like showers of rain
=============================
I got somethin' to tell you when I gets a chance
Somethin' to tell you when I gets a chance
I don't wanna marry, just wanna be your man
Baby, saddle my pony, saddle up my black mare
I'm gonna find a rider, baby, in the world somewhere
