Goin´To Dallas To See My Pony Run - Lighnin' Hopkins

I’m goin' to Dallas, see my pony run

Goin' to Dallas, just to see my pony run

I’m goin' to Dallas, just to see my pony run

If I win any money, gonna bring my baby some

She’s a cold black mare, put on a racetrack anywhere

She’s a cold black mare, put on a racetrack anywhere

If I get to the place and it’s crowded, I’ll say have you got any room to spare?

I’m going to Dallas, see my pony run

Going to Dallas, see my pony run

I’m going to Dallas, just to see my pony run

She wins every race and I can’t see how it’s done

She got a long life to live, cold black way remains

Long life to live, cold black way remains

When that horse wins that race she don’t look like she’s ashamed

I’m going to Dallas, see her run one more time

Going to Dallas, see her run one more time

If she wins this race for Lightnin', I’m gonna tell her she can retire
