Son House — Shetland pony blues

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
