Subject: Lyr Add: I'D RATHER HAVE A PONY THAN A GIRL
Mentioned above by Mavis Enderby:


I'D RATHER HAVE A PONY THAN A GIRL
As sung by Buddy Williams on "Saddle Tramp Country Favorites" and "Old Faithful: Songs from the Saddle"

Oh, I'd rather have a pony than a gal.
A pony is a far greater pal.
He's faithful kind and true,
Never thinks of hurting you.
He doesn't start a-nagging
And his tongue ain't always wagging.
Oh, a pony never lies or lets you down,
A gal to meet when you ride into town,
And he doesn't give a hoot
If you've been out on the scoot.
Oh, I'd rather have a pony than a gal.

[Yodel]

If I'm home late, my pony doesn't mind.
He never scolds or speaks to me unkind,
Doesn't ask me where I've been,
Or how many gals I've seen,
He doesn't go romancing
In the dock instead of dancing.
Oh, at least my pony knows that I'm the boss.
At the races, he don't care who won or lost.
I've played a losing game, you see,
So I let the ladies be,
'Cause I'd rather have a pony than a gal.

[Yodel]
