Ely Joe - Run Little Pony lyrics

I went down to the races to watch my pony run Down to the races to watch my pony run Lookin' at the faces, lookin' for the fastest one I took my money, money I'd saved for rent I took my money, money I'd saved for rent Forgive me honey, I'll give it up for lent Run little pony, run like you're runnin' from sin Run little pony, run like the crazy wind Play your bugle, boy, play it fast and hard Play your bugle, boy, play it fast and hard Here come the ponies, come trottin' out in the yard The odds against me, they laid 'em seven to one Odds were against me, they laid 'em at seven to one Cold sweat like to drench me, when the starter man fired his gun Run little pony, run like you're runnin' from sin Run little pony, run like the crazy wind I yelled and I cheered and praised the lord above I yelled and I cheered and praised the lord above My Little Pony come in, one head out in front Out all night until the mornin' sun Out all night until the mornin' sun Buyin' all the drinks with the money I had won Run little pony, run like you're runnin' from sin Run little pony, run like the crazy wind Next thing I knew I was lookin' thru cold hard steel Next thing I knew I was lookin' thru cold hard steel Ain't got a brain in my head, guess I never will
