Get my pony, saddle up my black mare
Get my pony, saddle up my black mare
I'm gonna find a baby, she's in the world somewhere

Brand new shetland, man, already trained
Brand new shetland, man, already trained
I gotta jump right in the saddle, lord, I turn up on my reins

Somethin' to tell you when I get a chance
Somethin' to tell you when I get a chance
Oh well I don't wanna marry, just wanna be your man

Sun's gonna shine in my back door some day
Sun's gonna shine in my back door some day
You know the big wind's gonna up, lord drive my blues away

Oh well a brown-skinned woman like somethin' fit to eat
Brown-skinned woman like somethin' fit to eat
But a jet black woman, don't put your hands on me
