《The Pony Man》歌词

[00:00:01] The Pony Man (Album Version) - Gordon Lightfoot

[00:00:06] When it's midnight on the meadow

[00:00:09] And the cats are in the shed

[00:00:13] And the river tells a story

[00:00:15] At the window by my bed

[00:00:19] If you listen very closely

[00:00:21] Be as quiet as you can

[00:00:25] In the yard you'll hear him

[00:00:27] It is the pony man

[00:00:31] We're always there to greet him

[00:00:33] When he tumbles into town

[00:00:37] He leads a string of ponies

[00:00:39] Some are white and some are brown

[00:00:43] And they never seem to kick or bite

[00:00:45] They only want to play

[00:00:49] And they live on candy apples

[00:00:51] Instead of oats and hay

[00:00:55] And when we're all assembled

[00:00:57] He gives a soft command

[00:01:01] And we climb aboard our ponies

[00:01:03] As in a row the stand

[00:01:07] Then down the road we gallop

[00:01:09] And across the fields we fly

[00:01:13] And soon we all go sailing off

[00:01:15] Into the midnight sky

[00:01:22] And as we gaily rock along

[00:01:24] Beside a ripplin' sea

[00:01:28] There's Tom 'n Dick 'n Sally

[00:01:30] And Mary Joe and me

[00:01:34] And the pony man is leading

[00:01:36] Cause he's travelled here before

[00:01:40] And he gives a whoop and a holler

[00:01:42] At Mr Moon's front door

[00:01:58] And then we stop to rest a while

[00:02:00] Where the soda river glides

[00:02:04] Up to the slip comes a pirate ship

[00:02:06] To take us for a ride

[00:02:10] And the pony man's the captain

[00:02:12] And the children are the crew

[00:02:16] And we go in search of treasure

[00:02:18] And laugh the whole night through

[00:02:22] And when the hold is filled with gold

[00:02:24] And the sails begin to strain

[00:02:28] And the deck's piled high with apple pie

[00:02:30] We head for port again

[00:02:34] Then down the whirling starcase

[00:02:36] So swift our ponies fly

[00:02:40] And we're safely in our beds again

[00:02:42] When the sunbeams kiss the sky

[00:02:58] When it's midnight on the meadow

[00:03:00] And the cats are in the shed

[00:03:04] And the river tells a story

[00:03:06] At the window by my bed

[00:03:10] If you listen very closely

[00:03:13] Be as quiet as you can

[00:03:17] In the yard you'll hear him

[00:03:19] It is the pony man
