The Pony Man

When it's midnight on the meadow
 And the cats are in the shed
 And the river tells a story
 At the window by my bed
 If you listen very closely
 Be as quiet as you can
 In the yard you'll hear him
 It is the pony man
 We're always there to greet him
 When he tumbles in the town
 He leads a string of ponies
 Some are white and some are brown
 And they never seem to kick or bite
 They only want to play
 And they live on candy apples
 Instead of oats and hay
 And when we're all assembled
 He gives a soft command
 And we climb aboard our ponies
 As in a row they stand
 Then down the road we gallop
 And across the fields we fly
 And soon we all go sailing off
 Into the midnight sky
 And as we gaily rock along
 Beside a rippling sea
 There's Tom and Dick and Sally
 And Mary Joe and me
 And the pony man is leading
 'Cause he's traveled here before
 And he gives a whoop and a holler
 At Mr. Moons front door
 And then we stop to rest a while
 Where the Soda River glides
 Up to the slip comes a pirate ship
 To take us for a ride
 And the pony man's the captain
 And the children are the crew
 And we go in search of treasure
 And laugh the whole night through
 And when the hold is filled with gold
 And the sails begin to strain
 And the decks piled high with apple pie
 We head for port again
 And down the whirling star case
 So swift our ponies fly
 And were safely in our beds again
 When the sunbeams kiss the sky
 When it's midnight on the meadow
 And the cats are in the shed
 And the river tells a story
 At the window by my bed
 If you listen very closely
 Be as quiet as you can
 In the yard you'll hear him
 It is the pony man
