Shetland Pony Blues - Son House

Why don’t you catch my Shetland, and saddle up my black mare

Why don’t you catch my Shetland and saddle up my black mare

You know ima find my baby, Lord, in the world somewhere

Well he’s a Shetland horse and he don’t deny his name

He’s a Shetland Pony- he don’t deny his name

You know the way he can travel is a low-down ol' dirty shame

Looky here horse come on and lets us go

Please pony come on and lets us go

Lets we saddle on down on the Gulf of Mexico

You know he’s a travellin horse and he don’t deny his name

He’s a travellin pony he don’t deny his name

The way he can gallop is a low down ol dirty shame

You know I took him by the reins and I led him round and round

Took him by the reins I led him round and round

You know he ain’t the best in the world, but hes the best ever been in this town

Why don’t you come up here horse, come on and lets us go

I said get up now horse o lord and lets us go

Lets we saddle on down to the Gulf of Mexico

He got four stockin feet and a great long ol curly mane

He got four stockin feet and a great ol curly mane

He got a hot commotion like a high speed ol passenger train
