G C G When it's midnight on the meadow and the cats are in the shed C D D7 And the river tells a story at the window by my bed G C G If you listen very closely be as quiet as you can C D G In the yard you'll hear him it is the pony man. G C G We're always there to greet him when he tumbles into town C D D7 He leads a string of ponies some are white and some are brown G C G And they never seem to kick or bite they only want to play C D G And they live on candy apples instead of oats and hay. G C G And when we're all assembled he gives a soft command C D D7 And we climb aboard our ponies as in a row they stand G C G Then down the road we gallop and across the fields we fly C D G And soon we all go sailing off into the midnight sky. G C G And as we gaily rock along beside a ripplin' sea C D D7 There's Tom 'n Dick 'n Sally and Mary Joe and me G C G And the pony man is leading cause he's travelled here before C D G And he gives a whoop and a holler at Mr. Moon's front door. G C G And as we stop to rest a while where the soda river glides C D D7 Up to the slip comes a pirate ship to take us for a ride G C G And the pony man's the captain and the children are the crew C D G And we go in search of treasure and laugh the whole night through. G C G And when the hold is filled with gold and the sails begin to strain C D D7 And the deck's piled high with apple pie we head for port again G C G And down the whirling staircase so swift our ponies fly C D G And we're safely in our beds again when the sunbeams kiss the sky.
