《The Pony Man(1988 Version)》歌词

[00:00:00] The Pony Man - Gordon Lightfoot

[00:00:05] When it's midnight on the meadow

[00:00:08] And the cats are in the shed

[00:00:11] And the river tells a story

[00:00:13] At the window by my bed

[00:00:18] If you listen very closely

[00:00:20] 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

[00:00:44] And they never seem to kick or bite

[00:00:46] They only want to play

[00:00:50] And they live on candy apples

[00:00:53] Instead of oats and hay

[00:00:57] And when we're all assembled

[00:00:59] He gives a soft command

[00:01:03] And we climb aboard our ponies

[00:01:05] As in a row the stand

[00:01:09] Then down the road we gallop

[00:01:11] And across the fields we fly

[00:01:16] And soon we all go sailing off

[00:01:18] Into the midnight sky

[00:01:35] And as we gaily rock along

[00:01:38] Beside a ripplin' sea

[00:01:42] There's Tom 'n Dick 'n Sally

[00:01:44] And Mary Joe and me

[00:01:48] And the pony man is leading

[00:01:50] Cause he's travelled here before

[00:01:55] And he gives a whoop and a holler

[00:01:57] At Mr Moon's front door

[00:02:01] And then we stop to rest a while

[00:02:03] Where the soda river glides

[00:02:07] Up to the slip comes a pirate ship

[00:02:10] To take us for a ride

[00:02:14] And the pony man's the captain

[00:02:16] And the children are the crew

[00:02:20] And we go in search of treasure

[00:02:22] And laugh the whole night through

[00:02:27] And when the hold is filled with gold

[00:02:29] And the sails begin to strain

[00:02:33] And the deck's piled high with apple pie

[00:02:35] We head for port again

[00:02:39] Then down the whirling starcase

[00:02:41] So swift our ponies fly

[00:02:46] And we're safely in our beds again

[00:02:48] When the sunbeams kiss the sky

[00:03:05] When it's midnight on the meadow

[00:03:07] And the cats are in the shed

[00:03:11] And the river tells a story

[00:03:14] At the window by my bed

[00:03:18] If you listen very closely

[00:03:20] Be as quiet as you can

[00:03:25] In the yard you'll hear him

[00:03:27] It is the pony man
