lyrics

One bright and sunny morn
when it was nice and warm
I took my pony and we rode
It sounds real nice, I know
but the way that these things go
riding on my pony is like a rodeo

Cause he spits his bit at me
and puffs up really fat, you see
so that my saddle don’t fit tight
My saddle it comes loose
and drops me down on my caboose
Right onto the cactuses, or should I say “cacti?”

O no! I think I see a cliff!
He’s gonna throw me off if I don’t keep my grip!

When I offer sugar lumps
he’ll bite my fingers down to stumps
if I’m not careful with my hand
If he eyes a low tree branch
he’ll take off for it at a dash
If I don’t watch myself, well, I’ll lose more than my hat

I wear my gloves you know
to hold on to the rope
when he is dragging me behind
and when we’re at a run
o he stops short and off I’m flung
I tell you sister, who says cowgirls can not fly?

This ain’t no casual pony ride!
O I’m just lucky, brother, if I come back alive!

Maybe I’ll buy a Bay
a Pinto, a Paint, or a Dapple Grey
I hear that Clydesdales are real sweet
Appaloosa, Arabian
to ride out in the sun
I’d ride a chicken cause this pony’s got me beat
I’d ride a goldfish cause this pony’s got me beat
This pony, he’s got me beat
