Charley Pattons "Pony Blues" Recorded June 14, 1929:
Hitch up my Pony saddl' up my black mare
Hitch up my pony saddl' up my black mare
I'm gon' find a rider ooh baby in the world somewhere
Hello central 'sa matter with your line
Hel- lo central matter now with your line
Come a storm Iast night tore the wires down
Bought a brand new shetland man already trained
Brand new shetland baby al- ready trained
if you get in the saddle tighten up on your rein
And a brownskin woman like somethin' fit to eat
Brownskin woman like somethin' fit to eat
But a jet black woman don't put your hand on me
Took my baby to meet the mornin' train
Took my baby meet that mornin' train
And the blues come down baby like showers of rain
I got something to fell you when I gets a chance
somethin' to tell you when I get a chance
I don't want to marry just want to be your man
