When I was a very young man
I was a cowboy
The best in the land
But
then she settled me down
With a touch of her hand
Now I'm begging
you mister
Tell me if you can
Which way does that old pony run
Which way does that old pony run
And how much is that saddle
And a straight shooting gun
Which way
does that old pony run
Now a young girl
She don't know when she's lying
But a woman
Great God she knows how its done
So mama before I go
There's just
one thing on my mind
Which way does that old pony run
Chorus
So this good life you know I must leave
Your new car And your
color TV
But what's riches to you
Just ain't riches to me
And if
you're staying out here
Then I'm headed back east
