Capo 2
C G
When I was a very young man
C G
I was a cowboy, the best in the land
G G7 C A7
But then she settled me down with a touch of her hand
G D
Now I'm begging you mister
C G
Tell me if you can
Chorus:
C G
Which way does that old pony run
C G
Which way does that old pony run
G G7
And how much is that saddle
C A7
And a straight shooting gun
G D G
Which way does that old pony run
C G
Now a young girl, she don't know when she's lying
C G
But a woman, great God, she knows how its done
G G7 C A7
So mama before I go, there's just one thing on my mind
G D C G
Which way does that old pony run

So this good life you know I must leave
C G
Your new car and your color TV
G G7 C A7
But what's riches to you, just ain't riches to me
G D
And if you're staying out here
C G
Then I'm headed back east
Chorus:
